Stew – Beef
Stew – Beef
by James Belardo
My mother's cooking took to the stage when we moved to Canada in the late-seventies and that's when I really discovered how well my mother cooked. Before that, we lived with my grandmother and she did most of the cooking. Since my mother was working she helped when she could.
This recipe evolved over the years as I first recalled my Mother's recipe (included as a footnote) and then built on that. My wife also had a great influence as she suggested adding turnips, it was a fantastic idea. The turnips add a great earthy element which screams countryside to me.
2 lb. cubed stew beef (cut into 1/2-inch cubes) (use lamb for that authentic flavor, or veal or any combo of beef, lamb and veal or all three).
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
1-2 cup sliced Cremini mushrooms
3 carrots, sliced
4-5 stalks celery, sliced
2 medium sized turnips, cubed (See *alternative below)
4 medium sized potatoes, cubed
1 cup frozen peas (fresh, if you can get 'em)
1 28 oz. can plum tomatoes (roughly cut)
2-3 cups beef broth
1 pint of Guinness (or other dark ale or beer) (See *alternative below)
Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp olive oil
bacon fat – optional
1/8 cup butter
salt and pepper
bay leaves
flour (Italian 00, multigrain or whole wheat)
*Alternative Ingredients (If not using turnips)
Red and Green Peppers
1 cup red wine
Stew Beef – Marinate stew beef cubes in 1/2-3/4 cup wine, about 1/8-1/4 cup Worcestershire and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar for about an hour, Remove marinade and set aside. Coat cubes with flour, salt and pepper.
Potatoes – Parboil cubed potatoes (w/skins still on). *note, do not throw out the potato-water. You will most-likely use it later
Garlic, Onions and (optional) Crushed Dried Hot Pepper – Crush the dried hot pepper using a mortar and pestle and then dice the garlic and onions.
Carrots, Celery, Mushrooms and Turnips (or Peppers) – Slice carrots celery and mushrooms, the turnip cubes should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes.
Tomatoes – Cut the canned tomatoes roughly, about 4 to 5 sections for each tomato
1. In a Dutch oven sized pot, sauté the onions, garlic and hot pepper flakes (optional) in olive oil and bacon fat (optional).
2. As garlic begins to brown and onions start to become translucent toss in floured and seasoned stew beef cubes. Throw in some more Worcestershire if you like and let meat brown (covered) for about 10 minutes or so.
3. As the meat and onions cook, add the carrots and celery followed by the turnips (or peppers). Let the carrots and celery soften, it takes about 5 minutes or so.
4. When the vegetables begin to soften add the beer (or wine) along with the marinade you had saved; cover pot and bring to a simmer (stir often).
5. After about 5-10 minutes, add the sliced mushrooms.
6. Once the mushroom begin to soften, add some butter, the bay leaves and celery leaves (if you managed to save any).
7. Once the stew comes to a simmer again, add 1 cup of beef broth.
8. Let come to a simmer and add the tomato, mix well and cover pot to allow it come to simmer (stir often).
9. Once stew has been simmering for about 5-10 minutes, add the parboiled potatoes (do NOT throw away the potato water!)
10. Add some more butter if you like and another cup of beef broth if you like.
11. Once stew comes to a boil again, it's time to add the peas and 1 cup of the saved potato water.
12. Finally, on the last cycle, add fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley, salt and pepper (to taste). Cook on low for an additional hour or two (if you can). If more liquid is needed due to reduction, add an additional cup of the saved potato water or beef broth.
My Mother's Original Recipe
1 lb. chopped stew beef
1 Onion, chopped
1 clove fresh Garlic, crushed
3 Carrots, sliced
2 Potatoes, cubed
1-1/2 cups frozen Peas
8 oz Tomato Sauce
1 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
1 tablespoon Bistro Brown Gravy Powder
1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
In a large pot, add Olive Oil, Stew meat and stir until brown. You can prepare cubed Stew Meat by covering them with a thin layer of Flour. Add Vegetables, Tomato Sauce and enough Water to cover. Add crushed Garlic, Basil, Salt, Pepper, Bistro and Kitchen Bouquet. Cook for about 1 to 1-1/2 hours.

Infectious diseases such as the West Nile virus and Ebola are a consequence of climate change, according to Daniel Brooks, a zoologist affiliated with the Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In other words humans will undoubtedly have to put up with other illnesses that will to emerge in the future.
Because climate change is shifting habitats and is bringing wildlife, livestock, crops and people into contact with pathogens to which they have never been exposed before.
"Over the last 30 years, the places we've been working have been heavily impacted by climate change. (…) Even though I was in the tropics and he was in the Arctic, we could see something was happening." Changes in habitat mean animals are exposed to new parasites and pathogens,"
Brooks explained.
At first, biologists and scientists didn't know that parasites could jump from one species to another with no difficulty just because its host evolved and is no longer eligible.
To make the matter easier to understand, Brooks used an example involving the capuchin and spider monkeys, which had been hunted to extinction Costa Rica. However, the parasites that used to infect these species then moved to howler monkeys, where they are still found today.
Another example focuses on recent years, when lungworm parasites have managed to shift from caribou to musk oxen in the Canadian Arctic.
So in spite of previous beliefs, hosts and parasites do become adapted to each other over time, but even these adapted parasites are able to move to new hosts under convenient circumstances. Disease-causing bacteria and viruses are thus able to change hosts rather quickly. But the sad thing is that these new hosts may become sicker from the infections as they have not developed resistance.
The article is a part of a special issue regarding climate change from the scientific journal Philosophical Transcriptions of the Royal Society B. The authors of this study are Daniel Brooks, a zoologist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln along with Eric Hoberg, who is a zoologist for the U.S. National Parasite Collection of the USDA's Agricultural Research Service.

The Lager of Life
Football is haunted by violence, but can it be blamed for it?
I remain extremely happy to have been born on the same day that Muhammad Ali fought for the first time under the name he chose (the rematch against Sonny Liston which he won with a first-round knockout, if you're interested). But I can't feel the same way about boxing as I once did.
True, the sport has a beautiful purity. In the words of a friend who can still find it in his heart to love the noble art, it is the sport to which all other sports refer. I accept this, but still I shudder. With age comes a greater realisation of human frailty. Those punches dished out by men trained to a peak of destructive perfection — they have consequences.
Of course, we all struggle these days with the basic objective of boxing — to incapacitate the opponent. And we also live in a far softer age than just a few decades ago. This applies to other sports. From a contemporary perspective it is hard to watch the bombardment that Michael Holding gave a 40-plus Brian Close when the West Indies played England in a 1976 Test Match. With precious little protection, Close ended up covered in bruises as he doggedly got behind the line of the ball — more like a missile in the hands of Holding — and attempted to show, with ever decreasing success, that the impact had not hurt him. Every ball could have done him serious harm. How on earth did we ever consider this to be a healthy activity? More than a Test Match, with today's eyes it looks like a test of sanity, which we all were failing.
And yet I watched at the time with barely a qualm. But it was boxing that took me past the tipping point. Little more than 20 years ago I was at White Hart Lane for the second fight between Chris Eubank and Michael Watson, the one which ended Watson's career and came very close to ending his life.
It was a slow burner. Of much of the fight, I can recall little. Eubank had won a controversial points decision in their first meeting. Watson claimed that he had been robbed, but his change of approach in the rematch made it clear that deep down he felt differently. This time he went to work with an added intensity, giving Eubank no breathing space and building up a big lead.
The end is ingrained in my mind, as if it took place in slow motion. Eubank, in the penultimate round, seemed on the verge of defeat when he caught Watson with a devastating uppercut. Watson was out on his feet when the bell rung — he was still out when it sounded again to announce the start of the final round.
From my seat, admittedly some way back, it seemed clear that he should never have been allowed to carry on the fight. His corner, though, were caught up in the emotion of the occasion. Their man was three minutes away from a famous victory. They sent him out. But Watson was already so incapacitated that he appeared unable to carry out the last round ritual of touching gloves with his opponent. The referee, anxious to give him every chance, helped out, grabbing Watson's arm and pulling it towards Eubank's. "Why is this still going on?" I asked myself as Eubank steeled himself for the assault that would cause the referee, surely belatedly, to call a halt. The last image I have in my mind from the ring is that of one of Watson's cornermen, pathetically and absurdly, yelling at the referee in protest at the decision to stop the fight.
Later that night, as I left the ground and wandered up the High Road, I felt confused by my own emotions. There was elation in the mix — I had attended a big sports event, followed all over the nation, which had undoubtedly been dramatic and exciting. But it was already apparent that something was seriously wrong with Michael Watson, and I could not help feeling guilty that his suffering had served as my entertainment. It is a feeling I have never completely shaken off.
What had really disturbed me, though, was the behaviour of the crowd. I am unlikely to forget the piercing noise and the frenetic, excited movement that accompanied the last couple of minutes of Michael Watson's able bodied existence. Ugly, feature-twisting emotion had taken over the collective mind of White Hart Lane, even warping the judgement of some of those paid to keep a cool head in such circumstances. I remember one figure, an ex-boxer of some renown, slipping away into the night soon after the fight. He had seen enough to know what was at stake up there in the ring. His quiet dignity contrasted with the vein-bulging, adrenalin filled pandemonium that was hissing, squawking and screaming all around — that we have all seen, and maybe been part of, in some football stadium.
"Football," says the Liverpool-based academic Rogan Taylor, "is like strong beer. Some people just can't take it." It is one of the wisest quotes on the game that I know. Our sport, of course, does not have the physical incapacitation of the opponent as an objective — though I have to confess that head injuries are making me increasingly squeamish. But in comparison with boxing it has a greater power of representation — in part because it is a team game, but also as a result of an intense internal contradiction between its simplicity and its complexity. The former means that, with low barriers to entry, almost anyone can join in. The latter means that how you join in says so much about who you are; a player on the ball has so many options available to him that it follows that the choices he makes are in some way culturally formed. Get the ball forward quickly using pace and power, or take the scenic route before suddenly striking, using surprise and deception as a weapon. No other game contains such a variety of movements.
As you live, think and dream, so you express yourself on the football field. And so those who watch feel themselves being expressed, as individuals, and in those moments when a surge of emotion makes a crowd react as one, collectively as well.
Here lies the problem with Rogan Taylor's observation. When a mass of people are overdoing the strong beer all at the same time, their collective intoxication is more like a poisoning of the mind, the hysteria that fascism seeks to generate and feed off. And it can take effect with alarming speed. Some of those at Heysel in 1985 talk of a friendly atmosphere on a lovely spring evening suddenly descending into an inferno. I recall being at a derby in Cali, Colombia, which seemed to be a relatively good-natured affair until one police action turned the stands into a riot zone, with the game halted and disorder reigning for hours afterwards in the streets around the stadium. Or, more than a decade ago, going to the Maracanã by bus to see a Vasco da Gama-Flamengo game, Rio's most potent local rivalry. As we approached the stadium a gun battle was raging — it may have been between rival groups of fans, it might have been the police firing into the air in a bid to control the crowd. No one was keen to put their head up long enough to find out. Everyone was on the floor of the bus, children wailing and old people shaking with fear.
Ah, local derbies. So often the atmosphere they generate is referred to with a blithe smile. To my mind they can often be the most over-rated games in football, almost guaranteed to generate more heat than light, fuelled by demented anger. Being in a big derby crowd can sometimes be like experiencing a 90-minute version of Orwell's Three-Minute Hate. Am I the only one troubled by this? Apparently not. "Stand up if you hate Arsenal," goes the inevitable Tottenham terrace song. Hunter Davies and an elderly fan nearby stayed in their seats. "I'm too old to hate," said Davies. "I'm too old to stand," replied his acquaintance.
Am I too feckless to walk away? I watched the 1985 European Cup Final, stayed with it all the way to the end, perturbed, of course, by the scenes from the stadium, but still curious to see whether Liverpool or Juventus would come out on top. It didn't feel quite right at the time, and it feels worse in hindsight. But I was not the only one. I'm haunted by an image in my mind, a tale recounted on a TV documentary by someone who was on duty at the Heysel stadium that night. He recalls seeing an Italian fan, who had lost his shoes in the deadly crush and whose clothes were covered in dust. But now the match had started this fan was cheering on his side, totally caught up in the emotion of the game. Football is powerful stuff.
For years I carried all of these thoughts in my head, but they were locked away in a guilty little corner, seldom visited. Therapy came from an unlikely source.
Towards the end of last year I had the opportunity to interview Paul Breitner, West Germany's star left-back and midfielder from the 1970s and 80s. His reaction to my opening question did not bode well — I recalled that he had been known for taking political positions as a player, and asked whether he thought this type of stance was missing in today's players. I made no reference to Chairman Mao, but even so he was exasperated at having to fend off an enquiry that touched on the folly of his youthful idealism. Once that was out of the way, though, he was an excellent interviewee, forthright and intelligent. There was one point he was very keen to make: whether it was racism in stadiums or young players unwilling to accept responsibility, his piercing blue eyes flashed and he pointed out that these were not problems of football — they were problems of society that were manifesting themselves in football.
It is a simple observation but a brilliant one. Football matters, and so we tend to load more on the game than it can realistically carry. It had been foolish of me to blame football, even in a little corner of my mind, for the dangerous passions it can unleash. The fault lies not with football. Perhaps, in this case, the idea that society is to blame does not go far enough. It is more fundamental than that. It is a problem of the human being.
Turning against football on these grounds would be like hating democracy because people voted for Thatcher. Give the human being the chance to express himself and the outcome will not always be pleasant. Far better that the ugly side of humanity get an airing at a football match than at a public hanging, or even a boxing bout.
Because football carries within it so much that is positive. One of the driving forces behind boxing success is narcissistic individualism. In football the glory always has to be shared. The far right can make a fetish of competition, but human progress has almost invariably been the result of co-operation. Football teaches us the dynamic between these two forces. The best way to compete is to co-operate — a lesson well worth learning, even if it comes at a price.

Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
Engaging Performance: Theatre as Call and Response presents a combined analysis and workbook to examine "socially engaged performance." It offers a range of key practical approaches, exercises, and principles for using performance to engage in a variety of social and artistic projects. Author
Jan Cohen-Cruz draws on a career of groundbreaking research and work within the fields of political, applied, and community theatre to explore the impact of how differing genres of theatre respond to social "calls."
Areas highlighted include:
- playwrighting and the engaged artist
- theatre of the oppressed
- performance as testimonial
- the place of engaged art in cultural organizing
- the use of local resources in engaged art
- revitalizing cities and neighborhoods through engaged performance
- training of the engaged artist.
Cohen-Cruz also draws on the work of major theoreticians, including Bertolt Brecht, Augusto Boal, and Doreen Massey, as well as analyzing in-depth case studies of the work of US practitioners today to illustrate engaged performance in action.
Jan Cohen-Cruz is director of Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life. She is the author of Local Acts: Community-based Performance in the US; the editor of Radical Street Performance; co-editor, with Mady Schutzman, of Playing Boal: Theatre, Therapy, Activism and A Boal Companion; and a University Professor at Syracuse University.

With hot summer temps encompassing the country, are you tired of your high horsepower street car or truck overheating? The folks at Holley realize it can be a challenge to keep the mill cool. That's why they feel a proper cooling system starts with the right radiator—Frostbite.
For that reason, the aftermarket powerhouse would like you to know that Frostbite Performance Cooling Products are available in two-, three-, and four-row configurations as well as an extensive offering of LS-swap specific platform applications.
These are a dependable, and reliable radiator that is perfect for trucks, off-road vehicles, drag cars, muscle cars, street rods, and even modern-muscle applications delivering up to 1,000 horsepower. They are available in down-flow, cross-flow, and dual-pass configurations, and all have more cooling fins-per-inch than can be found on lesser-quality stock radiators.
We do want to let you know, Frostbite three- and four-row radiators are thicker than stock. This means it could extend farther into the engine bay and interfere with some stock fan/clutch applications. Existing cooling fan modifications may be required during installation. Electric fan and shroud options are available to eliminate stock clutch/fan.
Frostbite's billet aluminum fittings and tank also are made of aircraft-quality aluminum, which makes them up to 30-percent lighter than ordinary OEM-style radiators made of copper/brass construction. All seams are 100-percent TIG-welded for an airtight, leak-proof seal, and the aluminum core is far more corrosion-resistant than traditional brass/copper models.
Finally, the highly polished tank lends a show-car look to any engine compartment right out of the box, and all Frostbite radiators come complete with a 16-pound radiator cap with a special logo-embossed billet cover.
Frostbite continues to expand its offering of aluminum radiators, and now has units for 1988 through 2011 Chevy/GMC trucks, 2010 through 2011 Camaro, 1988 through 2002 Toyota trucks and 4Runner, Dodge/Plymouth A/B/E Bodies, 1970 through 1979 Dodge Trucks, and 2007 through 2011 Jeep Wrangler.
When it comes to keeping your ride cool, make it Frostbite!
- 100-percent TIG-welded (brazed) seams
- Aircraft-quality aluminum core, fittings, and tanks (up to 30-percent weight savings over OE)
- Billet aluminum filler neck and OEM-style brass petcock
- More cooling fins-per-inch for more efficient cooling
- Custom 16-pound radiator cap
- Polished top and tanks for a show-worthy appearance
- Three-row radiators support applications with 450-750 horsepower
- Applications for GM, Ford, Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep, and LS-swap available
- Manufacturer's 1-year limited warranty

Facebook may be pulled into United Cajun Navy hearings; more legal action expected, spokesperson says
United Cajun Navy (UCN) spokesman Brian Trascher says ongoing hearings in which UCN president Todd Terrell is seeking permanent restraining orders against eight individuals who allegedly used a Facebook group to make claims against the organization are the first of many efforts taken to ensure online protections are in place for nonprofits and businesses against alleged cyberbullies.
"This is definitely just the first step. There's more than likely going to be followup criminal proceedings, possible civil proceedings, [and] additional parties. Some members [that] this group has slandered have yet to file their own [temporary restraining orders]," said Trascher. "We really believe this can be a landmark case. There's been a lot of attention on cyberbullying nationally, mostly involving children, mainly teenagers and younger children but what we're demonstrating is that it can happen in the adult world, business world, and in this case the nonprofit world."
An informational section for the Facebook group in question, Cajun Navy Wiki Leaks, states it exists to "expose some of the fraudulent activities going on in the storm community." The section goes on to state "all posts made must be backed up by facts."
However, Terrell testified for several hours during back-to-back court hearings Thursday, Dec. 5 that potentially stolen and falsified evidence was posted by members of the group to dissuade potential volunteers and donors, effectively leaving UCN "dead in the water."
"I think we've been able to demonstrate a lot of malicious intent. They have called lots of members of the media spreading false allegations. They have called partners that the United Cajun Navy has partnered with in different disaster zones and spread false allegations. There's been a couple of events that UCN was going to be apart of that the organizers ended up backing out of, not necessarily because they believe the allegations, but they don't want to be apart of the drama," claims Trascher. "Everything that this group has done maliciously to try to stifle the efforts of the United Cajun Navy actually puts lives in danger."
The eight defendants, identified in courts documents as Deborah Kay Asuncion, Thomas Bever, Denise Marguerite Brunson, Kip Coltrin, Jeremy James Ellis, Gloria McCracken Godwin, Melissa Warren Harcus, and Alice Johnson, are not expected to be the only parties having to explain their side to a judge, however.
Trascher told WAFB he expects Facebook will be pulled into future proceedings.
"We believe that there are going to be further motions made that bring Facebook as a company into this situation, but right now we had to remove the threat. We believe there has been a legitimate threat...That had to be the first order of business here," said Trascher.
The news comes as social media platforms are under fire for what some users describe as lackluster and confusing policies about harassment and the spread of misinformation.
"There's been dozens and dozens of attempts to report individual posts. The group itself, which is called Cajun Navy Wiki Leaks, is the mechanism of misinformation in this case. There have been dozens and dozens of reports to Facebook about that group itself being fraudulent, spreading false information, spreading hate speech, putting harassment, bullying, and all that [on the page]. So far, to my knowledge every time the report came back that they didn't violate [Facebook's] community standards. Facebook has removed several dozens of individual comments made because they did deem them against their community standards, but has neglected to remove the group even though it has demonstrably shown many instances of maliciousness and violating what usually violates Facebook's community standards by their own admission," said Trascher. "Because of the way the platform works you can set up as many fake accounts with fake names and fake pictures which we have evidence of several of these defendants doing and post whatever you want. In some cases, people think that absolves them of liability. You have to walk a line between what's free speech, but at the same time, there's been an established law on slander and libel with regards to demonstrating malicious intent. Cyberstalking and cyberbullying are new frontiers that are evolving every day. I think that social media platforms have been under a lot of pressure to do a better job policing."
Trascher says he's hopeful UCN's situation can become an opportunity for Facebook to revisit its harassment policies with input from businesses and nonprofit organizations which can often be derailed by comments from other users whether those comments are founded or not.
"I think one thing Facebook could do better is having some consistency with what does and does not to their admission violate their community standards, or at least do a better job explaining rather than giving blanket answers about what does and doesn't violate community standards. We've shown many instances where one individual will make a comment that goes unchecked and another individual makes the same comment and that violates. In other words, they're contradicting themselves. I think it's because there is a lot of [artificial intelligence] in the algorithm in regards to how they make those determinations. They probably get millions of them an hour. They have billions of users. But, if they could come up with a way maybe bring a little more human element into judgment, maybe even have a little Facebook court where they have humans reviewing some of these more egregious comments, I think that would be helpful," said Trascher.
The defendants were unable to comment on any of Terrell's testimony Thursday and are expected to address the claims for the first time at the next hearing Thursday, Dec. 12.

If you love to bake, the holidays give you all sorts of excuses to camp out the kitchen, from the Thanksgiving dessert table to the office cookie swap. But before you start breaking out the measuring cups, do yourself a favor and get organized with these two tips from Khloe Kardashian, who recently gave an app-based tour of her baking cabinet.
- Decant your staples (flour, brown sugar, chocolate chips) into spill-proof airtight containers. They'll stay fresh longer, and you won't risk a crazy mess when an open bag of flour falls off the shelf and onto your floor.
- __Stow the little things that tend to get jumbled (birthday candles, extracts, cupcake liners) in clear plastic trays. __You can slide the whole thing out and see everything at a glance—without losing mystery jars and packets in the back of the cabinet.
Here's one organizing idea we won't be stealing though. Check out Khloe's baking decorations, on the bottom right shelf.
Here's a closer-up pic of just one container:
They're decanted into itty-bitty acrylic containers with teeny-tiny scoops. All adorable, but not very practical, if you're not, say, running a bakery. If you only use sprinkles and such in sparing amounts a few times a year, they're going to get melty and stuck together after a few months, especially if your baking cabinet is anywhere near your oven.
If you like Khloe's hyper-organized baking cabinet, wait till you see her

John Santa
Bluegrass musician, songwriter, filmmaker
JOHN SANTA is an award winning producer and musician. He lives in Chapel Hill. He loves music and plays eighteen instruments. At various points in his life he thought he was a guitar player, a writer, a cellist, a journalist and a producer. Then one day he realized he was really just a storyteller and his life got much, much easier. Among his proudest achievements are being voted Teacher Of The Year four years in a row at Piedmont Community College and founding the Marathon Jam for Charity (www.marathonjam.com) which has spread to cities all around the country and even overseas. He finds it delightfully ironic that as a poor struggling author/musician he has been able to raise substantial sums of money for various charities, most notably the Fisher House. He believes there is nothing more powerful than a good idea, but it helps a lot if you and your friends are more than a little bit crazy.
Mr. Santa has won many awards for his video productions and while he revels in telling many different kinds of stories, he most enjoys the ones that in some way seek to make the world a better place, thus the preponderance of educational and medical videos in his resume.
Some say the glass is half full. Some say half empty. John just drinks the water.

Under Michigan law, 17-year-olds are not allowed to vote or register for the military. They can't buy lottery tickets, and they can't open a line of credit. So why does Michigan law allow these same children to be thrown into prison with hardened criminals?
Incarcerating young people — especially those with nonviolent offenses — in the same prison as adults is harmful, expensive and ineffective when trying to make our communities safer.

By Colleen
One last time together before she had to decide what to do with her life.
She warmed herself by the fireplace. The others were tucked in bed, waiting for Santa, or Father Christmas, or the Christmas Bunny. She hadn't got all the English traditions down pat, but prezzies were good in any culture. She tried to remember what time it was in California. Five hours behind, six hours ahead - no matter. Angel was always glad to hear from her, and she couldn't sleep anyway. If he wasn't in his office she could leave a message. It would be nice to hear his voice. She dialed the numbers, and waited. Wondered if that ditz Harmony would answer the phone again. What was Angel thinking hiring her? If she had her ...
"Hello? Wolfram and bloody Hart. Angel's office."
That certainly wasn't Harmony. Wasn't Angel. "Wes?" She didn't sound convinced. "Hi, it's Buffy."
The person on the other end broke out in a coughing fit.
"Hey? You okay?" she asked.
"Yeah." The voice was much deeper. "Yes. This is Wesley. I have a cold." A pause, what sounded like a deep sigh. "Hello Buffy."
"I'm sorry. Your voice sounds really weird. Too bad, it being Christmas and all. Angel around?"
"Left early. Christmas Eve." He coughed again. "Bad cold. Can't talk."
"Oh, okay. Tell him I called to wish him merry Christmas. I hope you're feeling better."
"Right." There was a pause, and a sniffing sound. Must be the cold. "Merry Christmas, Buffy." The phone clicked to a dialtone.
Buffy sat, looking at the receiver. She could have sworn ... Hung up the phone and lay down on the sofa, pulling a knitted comforter up and cuddling under it.
Wishful thinking.

Office notes are put up for 'consideration and orders' or for 'information' where there are specific delegated powers for various sanctions, incurring of financial expenditure, changes in placements and assignments. Office notes incorporating all relevant details and seeking such sanctions are put up to the appropriate sanctioning authority. Such sanctions, through office notes, constitute a record of due permissions obtained before duly communicating or acting on them.
Office notes are put up to the president, general manager, executive director, managing director or chairman, as the case may be. Alternatively, they may be put up to the Executive Committee, the General Managers' Committee, the Management Committee, Audit Committee and the Board of Directors as well. Some organizations also have some specific functional committees like the Legal Committee, Premises Committee, Credit Committee, Promotions Committee, Procedures and Systems Committee to whom office notes seeking deliberation and orders or reporting developments are put up.

Although there may or may not be any specific written instructions on the drafting of office notes or the details to be furnished therein, in practice, one can observe a well-established and widely followed method in putting up such notes. Sometimes, the size and colour of the paper, the nature of typing (single space or double space), the authority who should sign and time schedule for submission are clearly stated. Office notes often refer to policy guidelines or important sanctions and generally pass through various tiers and incorporate views or comments of different functionaries.
Whenever inputs are sought from different departments such as legal, personnel and inspection, their views are incorporated in the office notes as well. Office notes are prepared and filed in serial order and serve as authoritative documents confirming sanctions or orders. While in some cases copies of the office notes are dispatched to the implementing units, in other cases the gist of the order or observations made by the authority concerned on the note are conveyed to the implementation levels. Preparation of office notes too calls for relevant skills, as all relevant facts and figures will have to be furnished sequentially. Wherever necessary, other related matters and previous decisions will have to be cited for reference. The actual recommendation has to be clearly stated.
In the end, the specific decision or instruction sought, or development being reported, has to be clearly mentioned. Unless the office note itself is clear, the observations or orders thereon may also become vague and unimplementable. This will create uncertainty at various levels and may necessitate the putting up of the note once again with additions and modifications. It is necessary, therefore, that the office notes prepared cover all relevant information and facilitate consequent decision making and orders by the authority concerned.

In the history of Nigeria Banking, not a single Digital Bank has ever been created from the start. Banks only provide a Mobile Banking application, which tends to make transactions faster. But the fact is Mobile Banking is different from Digital Banking. Mobile banking requires you going to your bank to get your ATM card and also get it activated.
ALAT is a digital banking service powered by Wema Bank Nigeria, it is 100% digital which allows you to do all your banking transactions without being physically present at a bank.

What is ALAT?
ALAT is Nigeria's first fully functional digital bank. With ALAT, you can do all your banking transactions without being physically present at a bank.
How is ALAT different from a banking app?
ALAT is built from scratch to be entirely digital, making all banking services available to you anywhere you can access the internet. A banking app is just an app offering some banking services, not a full digital experience: you'll still need to go to the bank to get a debit card and activate it, request your account statement, submit documents and often, to get basic customer support
. Why should I use ALAT?
ALAT will save you time with a simple account opening process that takes less than five minutes, help you put money away easily by automating your saving, make sure your bills are paid on time with its scheduled payments feature and deliver a free debit card you can activate, lock and unlock your phone to you anywhere in Nigeria.
Which mobile platforms are supported?
You can use ALAT on iOS and Android devices
. How do I open an ALAT account without going to a bank?
You can open an ALAT account easily on from your phone. Install ALAT from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, open the app and sign up with your Bank Verification Number and a valid phone number. Must I provide my BVN to open an ALAT account? Central Bank regulations require you to have a BVN to own a fully functional account. We need your BVN to automatically retrieve your personal information so you won't need to fill a lengthy form when signing up.
How long does it take to open an ALAT account?
Opening an ALAT account from your phone takes about five minutes, a lot quicker than going to a regular bank to open an account.
What kind of account can I open on ALAT?
With photos of your face and signature, you can open a basic ALAT account. This account is restricted to a balance of 300,000 naira, a single deposit limit of 50,000 naira, and a daily transaction limit of 30,000 naira. When you upload photos of your government-approved ID card and a utility bill, your account will be upgraded to standard savings account without these restrictions.
What documents are required to open an ALAT account?
To open a basic ALAT account, you'll need to upload a photo of your face and a photo of your signature (sign on a plain piece of white paper). For a full ALAT account, you'll also need to upload a photo of your government-approved ID card (your international passport, driver's license, national ID card or voter card) and a photo of a utility bill (not older than 3 months). What kind of ID card is required to open an ALAT account? The standard Central Bank requirements for opening a standard savings account apply to ALAT: you will need to upload a picture of your international passport, your driver's license, your national identity card or your permanent voter's card.
How will I submit my documents without going to a bank?
It's simple. Take a photo of each document, open ALAT on your phone and click Upload My Document to upload the photo of each document. How will I know that my uploaded document has been accepted? We will send you an email. I have uploaded my documents but my account is restricted. Your account will be activated as soon as we've verified your documents and address. In the meantime, you can save money in your ALAT account but you can't spend it.
How do I get my ALAT account number? Your ALAT account number will be emailed to you. It will also be displayed on your dashboard each time you log in to ALAT.
Why is my ALAT account not up and running?
If you can't withdraw cash, it could be one of the following reasons: You have not uploaded all required documents. Your residential address has not been verified. One or more documents you supplied have expired or are invalid. Details on one or more of your documents do not match your personal details we have.
How do I fund my newly opened ALAT account?
1. By direct debit from your Wema Bank account to your ALAT account: a. Log in to the ALAT app and click Fund My Account. b. Click the From Wema Account menu option. Both the ALAT and Wema accounts will be displayed with their account balances. c. Type the amount you want to fund your ALAT account with. d.

3 minutes.
Seems like an eternity when you are waiting to read a pregnancy test. 180 seconds of hope and dread all rolled into one nervous twitch.
"Don't be excited," you think, because all there has ever been is disappointment, sadness, and loss of hope. But, there is also the glimmer of…"but what if I am?"
Then the 3 minutes are up. I look down and read, "Not Pregnant."
Infertility sucks. I am almost 37 years old and I have only one child. Infertility is real and it can happen to anyone at any point. It has happened to my husband and I. I can't help but ask myself, "Why was it so easy the first time?" "Why is it so hard now? "What is wrong with me?" "Is it something I did wrong?"
All of these questions fly through my head as I insert yet another progesterone pill. Cramps abound, I hobble out of the bathroom and try to face another day, hiding my sadness and disappointment.
I wake up everyday with the fear of the unknown, realizing that I have no control over the outcome of this. After 4 years of trying, I am just tired. So tired. I have given up so many times but a little voice in my head says, "Don't give up! It will happen."
Up until now, I have not been open and honest about what we have been going through with family and friends. I guess for me, it has been about self preservation. I think: "…if I don't say it out loud, I won't have to face the real fact that I may never feel a baby kick inside me again."
The truth is, it hurts. My heart hurts. My soul yearns. I just want to be a mommy again. I want to be pregnant again.
Please don't misunderstand. I LOVE my little boy. I am so grateful and so blessed that I was even able to have one child. I know there are so many women out there who haven't been able to have even one child. No matter what the circumstance, having infertility is a just plain terrible and heart wrenching. And for me, it is one of the single most difficult things I have ever gone through in my life thus far. I feel like it has broken me.
I've heard the words of encouragement: "It'll happen. Give it time"or "Don't stress, that won't help." I have heard people also say, "The clock's ticking!" or "So when's the second kid coming?" How do I respond to that? How do I even begin to explain? I usually just smile and walk away. While some people may think they are helping, it is just a tearful reminder of what isn't.
My husband and I have been through a rocky 4 years. Job changes, health problems, parental health concerns, couples therapy and now infertility issues. This is not the picture I had in my head of what this was supposed to look like. My picture perfect idea turned not so picture perfect.
But on the other hand, we aren't really supposed to have a clear picture, right? Control is not for us to have. We give ourselves the illusion that we have it, but we don't. We only have control over our decisions, our actions, and how we respond to it all.
Everything else is left to God and the universe to work out.
That's hard. It is hard to "give it to God," as they say. It is so hard when I want something so bad I am blinded by fear, pain and doubt.
It's easy to start thinking I am being punished in some way.
I know I am not being punished. This is just another stepping stone in my life, my lessons, and my growth. I write this today knowing that, yet I still feel defeated.
I think what this comes down to is that I need to honor it all; the pain, the sadness, the hope, the anger and the longing. It is where I am right now. There is nothing I can do about it except trust that God has a plan for me. I think I can still feel crappy and sad and know that. It is not easy by any means. But, maybe that is part of what "giving it to God" really means.
To be ok is allow yourself to just feel defeated, sad, and angry while still remembering that there is hope.
I need to be ok with any and all outcomes to this, even if it means no baby. I need to let go of control and remember that the only control I have is in how I move forward from this point, how I can use my hope to drive my trust, belief and faith and choose to find joy and gratitude in everything I do have.
In the end, that is all I can do.
So whatever it is you are feeling in whatever situation you are in, honor it. Allow yourself to sit in it. And then allow yourself to hope, trust and believe. We may not have the picture of what we want, but it is the picture we have. There is no way to know how our picture will evolve until we find a way to let go of what we want it to be. Life is a gift and we are all a work in progress.
Be gentle with yourselves and know you are not alone. I will get through this and I know you will get through your situation too.
Many blessings and love from above.
