The BLD Foundation Induction Day
Bouba Balde, Legal Launch Pad Participant 2016
Upon arriving at Canary Wharf Station on the 29th January 2016, I could not help but reminisce back to when I lived across the Thames from this place, a 6-year-old boy who had just moved to the country, unbeknown that I would one day be travelling from Newcastle to step foot into the global Headquarters of Barclays thanks to the BLD Foundation. The feeling was surreal.
Personal emotions aside, the excitement and nerves of an induction day that was 3 months in the making crept up on me as I entered 1 Churchill Place and walked into the hall where the LLP induction day was taking place. Meeting my fellow candidates, a diverse yet unanimously friendly group, eased any nerves before we were asked to take our seats for the beginning of what would be a truly special day.
A quick video message from the Founder, Debo Nwauzu, set the tone of the day right; this was to be a special day, for a special set of individuals, by a very special programme. The welcome from David McCahon, General Counsel of Barclays, brilliantly accompanied Debo's message as he introduced himself and also welcomed us to the LLP, explaining how he has seen the positive changes this programme has created for past candidates.
I was very moved by Julian Gizzi's opening speech of his younger self getting involved in the legal career, elegantly spoken in a third person narrative. The DAC Beachcroft Partner provided us with some great tips on how to present ourselves when meeting with our assigned mentors, as he is a mentor himself. Having a mentor is something I, alongside many others, have not had before and knowing how to present yourself in the upcoming situation was invaluable.
The longest talk of the morning fell to Sairah Hussain of Baker & McKenzie for obvious reasons; it was in regards to the competencies and application process. I was able to take brilliant notes from the graduate recruitment and development officer that I will undoubtedly use in future application processes. The notable notes I wrote were:
· What employers look for (Academic record, employment history, activities & interests etc.)
· Setting out a cover letter
· Reasons / areas where many applicants fall down
A short tea/coffee break later (many thanks to Barclays hospitality team!) and we were again seated for Hashi Mohamed, Barrister at No5 Chambers, to lecture us about the bar skills and its application process. Although the majority of my fellow candidates aspire to be solicitors, I can assure you that not one person in the room felt uninspired after Hashi had finished his speech. The floor was silent. Every person was inhaling his aura and his words of wisdom. He was simply brilliant. This lecture truly made me realise that I was embarking on a career changing experience with the LLP and I would not be surprised if Hashi convinced a few others that going down the Bar route would be best for them (not to worry Tricia, I still want to be a solicitor!)
Samantha Hope, graduate recruitment manager at Shoosmiths, kept our spirits high with an energetic and bubbly presentation on Shoosmiths as a firm and tips on how to prepare for the interview experience. It was extremely refreshing to work with my fellow LLP candidates on a workshop exercise Samantha gave us on answering interview questions. The opportunity to speak to Samantha after her presentation on our lunch break was also very informative, and I thank her for that (and thank you Barclays Hospitality for the food!).
The practical workshops continued after the lunch break with John Watkins of the University of Law giving us a very insightful presentation on business skills and networking, showcasing to us how our business skills can always be enhanced and the importance of practice & preparation.
Tyler Dearson, Vice President of M&A at Barclays, conducted a workshop on how to read the Financial Times and I must say, it is one of the most useful workshop I have ever participated in. The need for commercial awareness is obvious for aspiring lawyers, trainees and solicitors alike and the importance of being able to PROPERLY read the FT cannot be understated. This workshop is one I viewed with high regard.
We were then joined by a panel of speakers in regards to our career options, hosted by Annabel Burrows who had done a magnificent job of running the agenda of the day. With speakers from CILEx andVodafone to Pinsent Masons and the Government Legal Service, the amount of new information we were provided with was enormous, and we were given the opportunity to ask a plethora of questions to the panel. I was glad to gain a greater understanding of in-house legal work from Wayne Spillett of Vodafone, who informed us of how in-house work was 'intense' yet you are given a lot of responsibility from the start.
The second panel of speakers were Alumni of the Legal Launch Pad programme who had each gained a training contract in top commercial firms which they owed to their participation in the programme. It was particularly pleasing to hear from individuals who were once in the same seat as us and had gone through the rollercoaster of emotions we were currently going through.
As the day drew to a close, it was fitting that Debo came out to inspire us (and check out our dance moves) one last time. I will not forget the two vital tips she repeated to us throughout her speech:
The closing words from her and David Jackson, Global Head of M&A at Barclays, ended the induction day on the highest possible note, not before giving us the opportunity to thank our first port of call on the LLP and the woman who made sure the day all went to plan, Tricia.
And with that, an inspirational, emotional, brilliant induction day came to an end. Many thanks to all who were involved, Barclays, and the BLD Foundation.
Carine Packer, Legal Launch Pad Opportunities Candidate 2016
After attending the BLD Legal Launch Pad induction day, I was inspired by the number of alumni who had secured training contracts with the help of the scheme and felt very motivated that I could achieve the same as an opportunities candidate.
The competition of getting a training contract is fierce, networking and getting yourself noticed is therefore important. The scheme offers great networking opportunities with a range of lawyers in different stages, from trainees to partners and lawyers in private practice to in-house in a range of industries. The networking on the day posed a great opportunity to get yourself noticed in front of leading firms but also to get a wider understanding of the legal industry and opportunities out there.
Leading experts from the University of Law, Barclays and Baker & McKenzie to name a few, came to give their advice on applications and commercial awareness. This practical advice was invaluable and gave me a great understanding of where I need to improve to succeed this year.
You are also given a mentor which sets the BLD Foundation apart from other diversity schemes out there. Having somebody in the industry to provide advice and to talk to during the application period is invaluable. It is clear that everybody working at the BLD Foundation as well as the volunteers believe in you and really want to see you succeed, this gives me the confidence I will and I am really excited to see what else the BLD Foundation has planned.

Australia signed a pact with Malaysia yesterday to combat terrorism through intelligence-sharing and training programs -- a move that boosts Canberra's security ties with Southeast Asia.
The agreement means Australia has inked anti-terrorism accords with Southeast Asia's two largest predominantly Muslim countries. Indonesia signed a similar agreement with Australia in February.
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and his Malaysian counterpart, Syed Hamid Albar, signed the pact at the Foreign Ministry in Putrajaya, Malaysia's administrative capital.
Copies of the agreement weren't immediately released, but the ministers said it covered information exchange, cooperation in training and education and studying each other's laws.
"The intention is to cooperate in order to frustrate any terrorist activities," Syed Hamid told a news conference.
The two ministers had returned together from an Asia-Pacific security forum in Brunei, where the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which includes Malaysia, signed an anti-terrorism treaty Thursday with the United States.
Downer said the agreement was part of a network Australia was developing with Asia-Pacific countries to combat terrorism. Australia is expected to sign a similar pact with Thailand soon.
"The struggle against terrorism is going to be a long and a hard one," Downer said. "It's a struggle that crosses many boundaries. It is one that demands that countries of the region, and indeed beyond, work together closely if we are going to be successful."
Downer downplayed the sometimes rocky diplomatic relations between Australia and Malaysia, saying economic and military ties had been strong for decades.
Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has repeatedly blocked Australia and New Zealand from entering Southeast Asian trade and leaders' forums, accused Australia of colonialist tendencies in Asia, and even mocked the Australian accent.
"You should not overstate the significance of that type of disagreement, as there is so much ballast in the relationship between Australia and Malaysia," Downer said.
"It might make a media story when there is a spat between the two prime ministers, but I don't think it really intercepts the greater weight of the relationship," he said.
Muslim extremism has risen in recent years in Southeast Asia, where links have been established to the al-Qaida terrorist network. Governments are concerned that any instability could hurt investor confidence and threaten economic growth in this region of 500 million people.
In Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines, authorities have arrested dozens of militant suspects. Officials say some of the men belong to a radical Muslim group called Jemaah Islamiyah, which Singapore says planned to blow up the city-state's U.S. Embassy.
Australia is the United State's most important ally in the South Pacific, and a regular contributor to U.S.-led military operations, including the one in Afghanistan.
The Australian and Malaysian Governments are to join forces in the war on terror, with Foreign Minister Alexander Downer expected to sign a historic counter-terrorism pact when he visits Kuala Lumpur tomorrow.
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad appears ready to put to one side his long-standing objections to Australian involvement in regional diplomacy to allow a formal agreement for top-level cooperation with the Australian Federal Police and other law-enforcement agencies.
Amid region-wide efforts to clamp down on Islamic terrorist cells operating in South-East Asia, Malaysia and Australia will agree to step up their exchanges of intelligence data, allow greater coordination between police and border control authorities, and encourage exchanges of senior police and counter-terrorism officials.
It follows a similar agreement between Australia and Indonesia in February, and means the Howard Government has negotiated counter-terrorism protocols with the two largest Muslim majority nations in the region.
Under these agreements, Australia will help provide specialist training and education programs if requested. But neither arrangement extends to the more politically sensitive issue of military cooperation.
"It is about building a whole new structure of cooperation against terrorism with our neighbours, and opening the doors to much greater agency-to-agency contact," a source close to the negotiations said.
It is believed an almost identical agreement with Thailand is awaiting final approval in Bangkok.
But the agreement between Malaysia and Australia could be especially significant for what it says about the improving tenor of relations between Canberra and Kuala Lumpur.
Although trade, defence and education links have remained solid, Dr Mahathir resents Australia's scrutiny of his human rights record, notably public criticism of his treatment of jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.
He also argues that Australia, as a Western nation, does not belong in regional institutions, and he has effectively vetoed Australia's inclusion in moves towards greater economic integration in Asia.
Malaysia's new agreement with Australia occurs against the backdrop of much higher priority being given to the war on terror by the Association of South-East Asian Nations. Dr Mahathir has softened his anti-Western rhetoric to play a key leadership role.
In the aftermath of September 11, governments in the region have been eager to allay fears in Washington that South-East Asia has become a hotbed of anti-American extremism.
In May, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines _ the three East Asian nations where militant Islamic groups sympathetic to the al Qaeda network are known to operate _ signed a three-way agreement to fight terror.
This coincided with a visit by Dr Mahathir to Washington, where he signed an agreement on security cooperation with President George Bush.
According to Malaysia's official Bernama newsagency, Washington and Kuala Lumpur have recently held talks on establishing a joint counter-terrorism training centre in Malaysia to instruct regional security services on how to combat extremist violence.
And, in Brunei this week, foreign ministers from all 10 ASEAN member states issued a declaration committing their governments to a strategy to "prevent, disrupt and combat international terrorism".
With US Secretary of State Colin Powell visiting seven regional capitals this week, the ASEAN Regional Forum announced further measures yesterday, including a blueprint designed to choke off funding for terrorists. It will require member states to establish financial intelligence units to track money flows, and to make public the lists of terrorist groups whose assets are to be frozen.

Yesterday, as I was driving North for work, I found my self stuck behind a painfully cautious and slow big rig. I made several attempts to pass it, but everyone behind me seemed to have the same idea. Cars kept streaming by me right and left…and so I reluctantly continued to trug along behind.
As I tried to wait patiently for an opportunity to pass, I busied myself. I turned up the radio, sang along, and stared at the back of this monster that was making me late. This gigantic silver slug that was…wait…what did that say on the back? I laughed out loud to myself as I read the company information painted on the rear.
Somehow, I had found myself behind a molasses transport truck.
True story.

Does Bye Bye Tears Shampoo Band Really Work?
It's not always easy for parents or nannies to bathe toddlers. Children often complain of shampoo hurting their eyes during bathing. The Bye Bye Tears Shampoo Band offers a solution for this bath time problem. This product is a soft and flexible headband that fits exactly around a child's head. It claims to be designed in order to prevent any shampoo suds and water from trickling down into the eyes and ears. The Bye Bye Tears Shampoo Band is said to have a patented flexi-channel that sends all the liquid to the back instead of on the face. This easy-to-wear headband promises to prevent children from feeling any burning sensation in their eyes when shampooing. This product offers relief for kids who fear getting soap suds in their eyes, as well as relief for parents who have to deal with them in the bath tub.

This winter has been difficult. So far there's been death(s), illness, flood (well, the office was soaked by an adjecent burst pipe and we were displaced for a month). I need not mention the added zest of hormonal fluctuations.
So, I've been doing the various things one does to cheer up. Sleep. A little too much television. Exercise (occasionally). Sometimes food (although I'm happy to say that's rarely the thing I reach for — perhaps there's something to this whole hypnosis thing!)
This weekend, though, I did something that made me happier than I've felt in a very longtime: I attended a weekend seminar. That's right — two and a half days of sitting in a hotel seminar room, alternately too cold and too hot, and suddenly I'm raring to go again.
It helps that this was the best conference I've ever attended: The National Guild of Hypnotists sponsored ten talks, ranging from "Winning with Post-Traumatic Stress" to "Mastering Age Regression" and "Non-Verbal Hypnosis." I gleaned something valuable from each speaker (even the guy who has visited Atlantis).
But you don't need hypnosis to encourage you to accept the underlying suggestion here — which is that active learning not only stretches your mind, it actually triggers some of the chemical changes that create positive emotions.
This has been put much more elegantly before — in a quotation I've been carrying around since my friend Jane recommended, many moons ago, that I visit a place every bit as wonderful as Atlantis.
Whenever the dark hovers over you, I hope you enjoy this passage, set in the Camelot of The Once And Future King by T.H. White:
"'The best thing for being sad,' replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, 'is to learn something.
"That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then – to learn.
"Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate never be tortured by, never fear or distrust and never dream of regretting. Learning is the thing for you. Look at what a lot of things there are to learn – pure science, the only purity there is. You can learn astronomy in a lifetime, natural history in three, literature in six. And then after you have exhausted a milliard lifetimes in biology and medicine and theocriticism and geography and history and economics – why, you can start to make a cartwheel our of the appropriate wood, or spend fifty years learning to begin to learn to beat your adversary at fencing.
"After that you can start again on the mathematics, until it is time to learn to plough.'"

Does your eyecolor disappear on a long day? Put a stop to this beauty crime with Prime Time Eyelid Primer, designed especially for use with bareMinerals Eyecolors. Apply our silky, lightweight primer to maximize your eyecolor, extend its wear and prevent creasing.
Before this product, I was a fan of the Urban Decay potion. However, I find that this product works muuuuch better than the UD one. Not only is the UD Potion impossible to get out of the tube when you still have like 1/3 of the product in there, but the staying power on this BE product is much longer. I also believe the price is cheaper, however I am not sure how much product there is.
All you need to do is turn the bottom of the stick and the product comes onto a sponge and you apply it to your eyelid. I like to blend it with my fingertips after to make sure that the product melts into the skin. It has a very nice consistency and dries immediately. The reason I know this product is a must is because it holds on to my pigments and loose powders for up to 12 hours! UD Potion never really did that.
A must for anyone who wears eyeshadow!!!
Leaves skin soft and silky. Helps make to stay on for hours.
This is a very good primer. It works like it should, made my eyeshadows stay all day. However there isn't much product on the tube so I used it up very quickly. Because of that I don't think is worth the price.
I tried Bare Escentuals bareVitamins Prime Time Eyelid Primer today and felt that the product worked very very well. I normally have a problem with my eye makeup staying in place all night long or the colors getting absorbed into my skin. This eyelid primer goes on sheer and lightweight yet provides heavy-duty staying power for the most vibrant long lasting color.

"Content marketing is not a new tactic. From the days of advertorials in print, to content hubs built by online publishers, to brand integration within programming on television and digital media, brands have long recognized that content can often be more powerful than advertising to deliver a story.
But content marketing is undergoing a revolution as brands move beyond "one-off" executions to full-blown continuous storytelling. When a brand is in a position to capitalize — in real-time — on the lights going out at the Super Bowl, we've reached a new level of marketing agility and impact. Until this moment, such 24/7, real-time content creation could only be executed by the skill sets of a media company and its newsroom. But that's all changing now.
And as brand marketers capitalize on the opportunity to be publishers, they are quickly confronted with hard realities." More>>>

By Janis Brett Elspas
As the mom of four millennials, including two sons and two daughters who all recently started college, my children are among the first generation to grow up on personal computers and gaming.
In fact, I think back fondly to the days when each of my toddlers took turns sitting on my lap at our PC, playing fun and educational video games on the screen with me. How they bonded with me and as they got older, with their siblings and friends over those hours of tech playtime together.
Fast forward to the present (and too fast those years did fly). Now one of my children is majoring in computer engineering, another is working on a degree in computer science, and the two others are interested in medicine or the sciences.
Thinking about all that got me thinking about how many innovations in gaming have emerged since I had four in diapers at the same time. And what a positive influence those games were to their social, motor and intellectual skills.
Now that my kids are full-fledged adults, gaming and the resulting family quality time that continues have been elevated beyond our wildest dreams.
Thanks to the latest advances in gaming gear from the Logitech G Prodigy series accessories and the huge selection of game options available on STEAM, the ultimate online game platform, there is now a whole new family of PC gaming pleasures for all ages and skill sets to enjoy – whether they're toddlers or college students.

[Episcopal News Service] The Church of England made history July 14 when its General Synod, meeting in York, approved legislation to enable women to serve as bishops, possibly by 2015.
The vote ends centuries of tradition and follows more than a decade of often-emotional debate accompanied by various stages of legislative action.
One synod member read out a message from Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town Desmond Tutu. "I'm thrilled to hope that our mother church, the Church of England, will do the right thing today … to allow women to become bishops as we have in Swaziland and in Cape Town," said Tutu. "Wow, you are in for a great surprise and treat should you do this. Your church will be enriched no end … Just look at what we have denied ourselves. God be praised. Yippee."

text: OK. I've wanted to photograph "snow monkeys" for years. The Japanese macaques that live in an area of Nagano called "Hell's Valley" spend the winter months bathing in the natural hot springs to keep warm. The thing that amazed me was how expressive the monkeys were. Everything from their expressions to their five fingered hands left me profoundly moved. Just wonderful.

On one crucial point, Judaism, Islam and Christianity are in agreement. All insist that faith in God is the first requirement. But then that's the prerequisite of any religion, isn't it? The differences lie in the what each religion teaches about the nature of God.
Let's take Christians. They teach that God is love. You hear that over and over again. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son …" Christians believe that by dying on the cross for our sins, God (through Jesus) showed how much He loved us. Why else would God go through all that if He didn't?
One of the criticisms that Christians have about Islam is that Allah is not primarily a loving God. They seem to need proof that God loves us, and that that proof is provided by His sacrifice on the cross. Muslims believe that God is continually showing His love for us and that the only proof we need is 1) that He created us in the first place; 2) that He is always there for us; and 3) that He is a Merciful God. Besides, why should God have to prove anything? He is God.
It's completely erroneous to say that Allah is not a loving God. First of all, Muslims believe that Jesus was one of the great prophets of God and that we are to heed his teachings. We accept what he taught about God's nature. But Jesus never said that God was a Triune God. The Christian Church developed the concept of the Trinity by putting together certain things that Jesus did say with the opinions of New Testament writers and of theologians who lived centuries after Jesus.
Christians start off wrong in their dealings with Muslims when they assume that Allah is a completely different God than the one they worship. The One God is the same whether He is worshiped by Jews, Christians or Muslims. But men try to shape their understanding of God according to the tenets of the religion they follow. Jews emphasize God's omnipotence, Christians emphasize His love and Muslims emphasize His totality.
That's why Muslims believe that Allah has 99 names. His nature can't simply be summed up in one sentence. He is omnipotent and loving, but He is much more than that. To be fair, Jews and Christians also believe that God's nature is complex. And we all agree that that God is unknowable exactly because He is God. But we can also rejoice in the fact that God hasn't left us completely in the dark about His nature.
All the People of the Book (Jews, Christians and Muslims) believe that God reveals Himself in His Book(s). Each of these religions believes that their Book is the last word on God. (But only the Qur'an truly is the last word.) That doesn't mean, however, that we can't learn about God from reading the other Books. We can use the Qur'an to guide us as to what has been corrupted in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, but I think it's important to familiarize ourselves with the pictures of God that we find there.
You can tell a lot about what a person believes about God's nature by the rules that they follow. Jews follow the Ten Commandments which start out with God stating that He is a jealous God, and that therefore we are not to have any other Gods before Him. Christians like to sum up what Jesus taught in the phrase, "Thou art to love the Lord God with all thy heart, soul and mind, and thy neighbor as thyself." Muslims take seriously God's admonitions to worship and follow Him alone. All three emphasize different aspects of what God expects from us, but we can learn from them all about the God's nature.
No one religion can say that it alone has a complete understanding of God. We need to remember that when we interact with each other.
See these charts that compare Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

ATLANTA — Police at the Georgia Institute of Technology are investigating a pair of robberies, telling students in a crime alert that one suspect is described as 12 to 13 years old.
Georgia Tech police say a student reported that a white minivan pulled up to him as he walked on Ferst Drive Northwest near Cherry Street Northwest Wednesday night. Police said a passenger in the van got out, showed a handgun and demanded the student's property.
Police said the second robbery happened minutes later and also involved a white van. In that case, a male and female student reported that a passenger in the van displayed a handgun and demanded their property as they walked on Tenth Street.
Police described the van as a white Dodge Caravan with a Georgia license plate.

The roofing of the home has a large part in the complete charm of one's property. When the time arrives to upgrade the rooftop on this home, look into laminate roof shingles. This type of shingle provides a unique visual appeal mainly because it imitates the cedar shake surface, significantly transforming the appearance of the property. What's more, these kinds of shingles hide any kind of defects of one's roof, and most discover they really are easy to put in, primarily with respect to houses featuring gables, turrets and also other unconventional features.
Laminate shingles have been in existence for several years at this point, but are getting more popular as they provide a number of amazing benefits over conventional three tab asphalt roofing shingles. Sometimes called composite, laminate, and / or dimensional roofing shingles, this roof material is actually well known for being exceptionally resistant to wind, owing to its heavier weight as well as density. This allows the shingles to endure stormy weather and strong winds better than many other possibilities, and granule elimination is less of a concern, leading to the need for fewer roof repairs.
The dimensional roof shingles are actually immune to flames, a major concern of many property owners, as this reduces the chance of an entire house fire. What's more, individuals in locations known for significant precipitation and/or high humidity find this specific roofing choice to end up being best. These shingles can be infused with zinc and / or copper to withstand algae development, a problem in this sort of climate too.
Composite or architectural shingles provide a dimensional look and feel to the rooftop. The roofing shingles include different tones, furnishing a layered appearance to this residence's roof structure plus they can be found in a wide range of colors, so one can find the tone that matches the complete aesthetic design of the property. Less attention must be used while installing the shingles, because of the layered look, but often the roof shingles help conceal defects within the roof top.
For additional information, go to website. One finds additional resources published here, since it is the official source for the company. In addition to that, an individual finds out more about what the business offers, the length of time the company has been operating, and even more. It's a good starting point an individual's look for a completely new roof structure as the more info one obtains, the simpler it will likely be to make a decision with regards to precisely which roofing material suits the home.

Ficus [fiːkəs], common fig, is a temperate 850 species plant, native to Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region, from Afghanistan to Portugal, which has been widely cultivated from ancient times for its fruit. They are extremely important food resources for wildlife. Figs are also of considerable cultural importance throughout the tropics, both as objects of worship and for their many practical uses.
Fresh figs, which we only get to enjoy a couple of months of the year, are enjoyed by many. I buy them a couple of times in late summer. This year, I received some large green versions from a dear friend's garden, which were just ripe and very delicious.
Last year, I drooled over Fig & Quince/Azita's post, Fig Jam.
This year, I was inspired to take an action by A Pug In The Kitchen/Suzanne's post, Roasted Figs,
which was a quick and easy recipe for my immediate fix of desire, with some twist.
Roasted Figs
Recipe by: Fae's Twist & Tango (fae-magazine.com)
• 454 g/ 1 lb fresh figs
• 1 Tbsp water
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp rosewater
• 3 Tbsp honey
• 4 tiny sprigs or 4 leaves fresh mint
◊ Place rack on middle oven shelf and preheat oven to 200°C/400°F
◊ Cut off the touch stems of the figs and slice in half, lengthwise.
◊ Place halved figs in single layer in oven safe dish or pan.
◊ Drizzle water, lemon juice, rosewater and honey over the cut figs. Put the mint in four places.
◊ Bake for 15 ~ 20 minutes, for soft figs covered with foil, and up to 30 minutes for harder figs uncovered, until the figs are softened and cooked through.
◊ Remove baking dish from oven, and let the figs cool completely.
◊ Roasted figs store well 4~5 days in the refrigerator and/or may be frozen in a few packets.
◊ Serving suggestions: Topping for ice-cream, with cheese over cracker/toast…

I have a ruby application and I need to receive a JSON from a client. Receiving a JSON is just like receiving a string? I just have to do something like:
information = params[:json_data]
data_parsed = JSON.parse(information)
What you are describing is OK, but it implies that there is a param named
json_data. If you instead mean that the entire
POST body is nothing but the
JSON, then you want to look at
request.raw_post. You'd end up with something like this:

text: South Florida is feeling the warmth again. This follows several small batches of cooler (or milder) weather, from a series of cold fronts over recent weeks. Looking ahead, it's the strongest surge of warming since October, on the way! This noticeable change comes as winds veer more out of the south. The warmth is building on the backside of high pressure sitting over the western Atlantic Ocean. So how warm will it get? The latest forecast has temperatures inching up into the middle 80's by midweek. That's a good 5 degrees above normal for this time of the year! Then, combine more humidity into the mix, and it makes for even more of a dramatic change. While we bask in times of sun and bigger warmth we'll also pay attention to the next cold front. It should meet up with increasing moisture to bring a few areas of rain by Thursday, or sooner. This is ahead of the actual front reaching south Florida on Friday. It's unlikely this front makes much of an impression on local temperatures. Basically, as it drops southward, it should lose its punch. Since upper level winds "level off" and become zonal, the main cooling won't be able to reach us at the end of the week.

I get this for my boyfriend and we both love the scent! It's very subtle and not over powering. It's pricier compared to most body washes out there.
I buy this body wash for my boyfriend all the time. It's amazing. We both love the White Musk sent. It is subtle and not overpowering. He never uses shampoo so a two-in-one product is perfect for him. It's a little bit expensive compared to other body washes out there, but The Body Shop often has great promotions and offers to save money. Great product for a great store.

SAS free British aid worker kidnapped last month in 'breathtaking and extraordinarily brave' night-time helicopter raid on cave deep in Taliban territory
- David Cameron authorised dramatic early morning cave rescue
- Troops took part in 'long march' to cave where hostages were held, without being spotted
- SAS officers then arrived by helicopter stormed the cave in the dead of night
- All four hostages rescued safe, no troops injured and a five Taliban and hostage-takers killed
- Parents of aid worker Helen Johnston, 27, are 'delighted and hugely relieved'
- Johnston 'thanked' Mr Cameron over the phone after her rescue
A British aid worker kidnapped in north east Afghanistan last month has been freed after a dramatic SAS rescue mission authorised by Prime Minister David Cameron.
Helen Johnston, 27, a nutritionist from Stoke Newington in London, Kenyan national Moragwe Oirere and two Afghan civilians were rescued during an early morning raid by members of the elite special forces unit.
All four hostages work for Medair, a humanitarian non-governmental organisation based near Lausanne, Switzerland and were kidnapped on May 22 in Badakhshan province.
Rescued: Helen Johnston, 27, was freed during an early morning SAS rescue in Afghanistan
Badakhstan: The hostages were held in a mountainous region close to the border with Tajikistan
Heroic: The SAS were helicoptered to the cave where the hostages were being held and stormed it, killing the kidnappers and releasing all four captives alive
The dramatic raid took place at 1am in Shahr-e-Bozorgd district, in a large forested area near the Tajikistan border called Koh-e-Laran.
According to the Daily Telegraph, SAS soldiers, working with the ISAF's Joint Special Forces Group, were transported by helicopter to the cave where the hostages were being held.
They then stormed the cave and freed the hostages.
Mr Cameron confirmed all four
hostages were rescued safely, no British troops were injured and five
Taliban and hostage-takers were killed.
A spokesman for the Foreign Office confirmed: 'They are all now safe. Helen and Moragwa are receiving support from British Embassy staff in Kabul.
'The two Afghan aid workers are returning to their families in Badakhshan.'
It was recently revealed the SAS would stay on in Afghanistan after British troops withdraw in 2014
Dead of night: Troops stormed the cave at 1am, in a bid to surprise the hostage takers while they were asleep
The Prime Minister spoke to Ms Johnston shortly after she arrived at the British Embassy in Kabul following the successful rescue attempt.
During their brief conversation she thanked Mr Cameron for efforts of all those involved in bringing her to safety.
The Prime Minister was told the operation had been a success at around 2am. He then stayed up to speak to military commanders on the ground and thank them for what they had done.
This morning he also spoke to the Chief of the Defence Staff and the Commander and Deputy Commander of ISAF in Afghanistan to thank them for their efforts.
The Special Air Service (SAS) is an elite special forces and counter terrorism unit of the British Army.
Based in Hereford, England, 'The Regiment' is widely regarded the best of its kind, the SAS has become the model for a number of special forces across the world.
It was constituted in 1950 and has been involved in every major conflict that Britain has taken part in since.
The SAS were first deployed in Afghanistan in 2001 and have carried out covert work uncovering Taliban bomb factories and identifying the location of key enemy figures for air and ground attacks.
Their weapon of choice is the Canadian-made C7 rifle, which replaced the M16, and is ideal for close quarters combat.
Last month it was revealed the SAS will stay in Afghanistan after British troops withdraw in 2014, to conduct counter-terrorism operations against the remnants of Al Qaeda.
Speaking after learning of her rescue, Miss Johnson's parents Philip and Patricia said: 'We are delighted and hugely relieved by the wonderful news that Helen and all her colleagues have been freed.
'We are deeply grateful to everyone involved in her rescue, to those who worked tirelessly on her behalf, and to family and friends for their love, prayers and support over the last twelve days.
'We greatly appreciate the restraint shown by the media since her abduction, and ask that they continue to respect our privacy at this special time.'
The Prime Minister gave the go ahead for the rescue mission to take place, and said today such decisions were 'extraordinarily difficult' and 'never rushed into'.
But he said he decided the risks to the workers' lives were getting greater.
He revealed he had spoken Ms Johnston's parents and brother, and the aid worker herself, adding: It's just a huge joy that they are finally going to be re-united and they are all healthy and all well.'
Mr Cameron also paid tribute to British troops involved in the rescue.
Revealing the mission involved a 'long route march" without being discovered, he said:
'It was an extraordinarily brave, breath-taking even, operation that our troops had to carry out.'
'I pay tribute to their skill and dedication.'
'Above all, on this weekend of all weekends, we should say a enormous thank you to the incredibly brave forces that took part in this operation.
'We will never be able to publish their names but the whole country should know we have an extraordinary group of people who work for us who do amazingly brave things.'
Relieved: David Cameron gave the go-ahead for this morning's rescue of Helen Johnson, who had been working for a Swiss-based aid organisation
He added that the rescue should serve as a warning to terrorists across the world who take British citizens hostage.
'They should know if they take British citizens as hostage we do not pay ransoms, we do not trade prisoners,' he said.
'They can expect a swift and brutal end.'
The aid workers were abducted by a group of armed men during a visit to relief project sites in Badakhshan, Medair said.
A British hostage was killed in Nigeria in March when an attempted rescue involving UK special forces ended in tragedy.
Chris McManus, working in the country as a building firm contractor, was killed alongside an Italian colleague as Nigerian troops and British Special Boat Service commandos launched a failed mission in west Africa.
The UK national had been held by terrorists associated with Islamist extremist group Boko Haram since May last year after being kidnapped from his apartment by gunmen.
Prime Minister David Cameron was criticised when it emerged that Italian authorities were not notified about the covert operation until it was under way.
Aid worker Linda Norgrove died during a mission to rescue her from hostage takers in Afghanistan in October 2010.
Ms Norgrove, 36, was killed by a grenade thrown by a US soldier during the operation, although Wiltshire coroner David Ridley did not blame him or his comrades for the tragic mistake.
Three Afghans captured with her were released unharmed a few days later.
Since the kidnapping, the charity kept a lid on publicity which it felt could jeopardise efforts to secure a release.
Spokesman Aurilien Demaurex said the aid workers would now be reunited with their families.
'We are really, really happy,' he said.
'Medair is relieved that our colleagues are safe. We are immensely grateful to all parties involved in ensuring their swift and safe return.
'The staff members are on their way to be reunited with their families. We ask the media to respect the need for the privacy of our employees and their families.
'Medair would like to thank everyone for their encouragement and support during this very difficult period. We are also very grateful for the overwhelming messages of support from local Afghan communities.'
According to its website, the organisation has worked in Afghanistan since 1996, providing relief to vulnerable and isolated communities.
Despite recent events, a spokesman said the charity was committed to continuing its work 'which relies on us working safely within local communities, wherever they may be.'
Before she was posted to Badakhshan, Miss Johnson studied at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine before her posting to Badakhshan.
She was interviewed by the Evening Standard last November about her work in the region.
Describing life in the region as 'gruelling' and physically tough, she said: 'It can be frustrating and hard, but there is no doubt that there is a fundamental need for us to be here. Too many children are suffering for us not to be.'
General John R Allen, commander of the International Security Assistance Force, said the rescue mission showed the coalition's commitment to defeating the Taliban.
'First, I would like to thank the Afghan Ministry of the Interior and Minister Mohammadi for their tremendous support throughout this crisis,' he said.
'Second, this morning's mission, conducted by coalition forces, exemplifies our collective and unwavering commitment to defeat the Taliban.
'I'm extremely grateful to the Afghan authorities and proud of the ISAF forces that planned, rehearsed, and successfully conducted this operation.
'Thanks to them, Ms Helen Johnston, Ms Moragwe Oirere, and their two co-workers will soon be rejoining their families and loved ones.'
