Tons of paper produced
In the world, this yearBy TheWorldCounts
We use more than 2 pieces of paper for everyone on Earth every single hour. Demand for paper is expected to double between 2005 and 2030.
In the USA, Japan, and Europe an average person uses between 250 and 300 kilos of paper every year. In India the figure is 5 kilos, and in some countries it is less than 1 kilo. If everyone used 200 kilos there would be no trees left.
It takes 10 liters of water to produce a single A4-sheet of paper. The pulp and paper industry is the single largest industrial consumer of water in Western countries.
Producing 1 kilo of paper requires 2-3 times its weight in trees. Paper can be recycled, yet 55 percent of the global paper supply comes from newly cut trees.
Each ton of recycled paper can avoid the use of 17 trees; 1,440 liters of oil; 2.3 cubic meters of landfill space; 4,000 kilowatts of energy and 26,500 liters of water.
We consume almost 560 million tons of paper products every year. This includes: Pulp for paper and paper & paperboard.

The Artist in residence scheme is possible due to generosity of James McLaren OE who sponsors this annual event.
The basic principle is that in the Michaelmas half we recruit the help of a specific artist whose work we feel is relevant to our teaching objectives. We try to vary the criteria so that we can cover the wide range of working
methods and ideas that are possible to explore and utilise within the Drawing Schools. The artist in residence is not a teacher but a practitioner who instructs both staff and students via his working practice. The idea is that his studio is open for visits and that he will display some past and present work in the gallery during his stay at Eton. All artist in recent years have been very generous with time, technical advice and practical demonstrations. The residency scheme is a fresh injection of energy and concepts for all involved and helps to keep art at Eton College contemporary and relevant to the art world beyond the confines of the school.

07. Favourite book: Tryptamine Palace by James Oroc.
08. Favourite food (or Snax): Got to be Pizza
09. Favourite guilty pleasure: Being interviewed by K Mag
10. Favourite random moment: Having a few cheeky brews in the afternoon in my local town and coming across the window cleaner who cleans all the windows for businesses round the town and who calls everyone Ken. No matter if they're male or female, he calls them Ken. He'll also greet you when you walk by, by saying 'Morning Ken', even if it's the afternoon. I Struck up a conversation with him and he still never let his guard down, and managed to call both me and my wife Ken numerous times in the midst of his sentences
Morning Ken
Ask me again next week and I'll probably have an entirely different set of answers

One of the wonderful things about Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the vast number of free events taking place in bars, clubs, empty shops, galleries and even museums.
Throughout the Festival the National Museum of Scotland played host to a wide range of music - from traditional Scottish fiddles and harps to Latin American and West African music.
So one lunchtime I dropped in to listen to Jennifer Port, singer and clarsach player. For anyone who doesn't know, the clarsach is a Scottish harp, smaller than the Welsh version and more portable and the museum has a couple of examples dating back to, I think, the fifteenth century.
The music was wide ranging in date and style from traditional ballads to Sting's Fields of Gold, even some for the audience to join in with.
A pleasant way to pass a lunchtime and become acquainted with music that's a little out of the ordinary.

Edinburgh has to be my favourite city - in fact probably the only one I'd think of visiting for a holiday.
It has parks in the centre to sit in and soak up the sun - and yes, apart from a heavy 10 minute downpour one afternoon, the sun did shine.
It has fascinating alleys and secret wynds to discover just off the main Royal Mile which leads from the old castle on top of its rock to the 'newer' palace of Holyrood.
|Royal Mile
and wide open spaces in the New Town
with glimpses of the sea beyond

these three photographs were taken from the roof terrace of the National Museum of Scotland - a wonderful spot to get an almost bird's-eye view of the city
There's even a beach! What more could one want?

Once Upon A Time (In Space) - Edinburgh fringe
The evil Old King Cole has abducted his finest soldier Rose Red with the intent of cloning a race of super-warriors. Her sister Snow White and seven companions escape to lead the rebellion and Cinders searches through space for her lost love.....
This was one of the many free Fringe events taking place throughout Edinburgh - in this case, down a dark alleyway and a flight of stairs taking us into an underground club.
Our party of 3 was divided, to say the least, in appreciation. I loved it, one didn't, one thought it was ok - so a fair cross section of opinion. The story was told mainly through song with some short sections of dialogue. A bizarre mix of folk and sea shanty style music, outrageous costumes and sci-fi reworkings of fairy tales - all culminating in a rousing version of What Shall We Do With A Drunk Space-Pilot (you can probably guess the tune). Great fun!

Closer - Edinburgh Fringe
Closer by Patrick Marber is a story of relationships, deceit and betrayal. Four people - a wannabe writer, a stripper, a photographer and a doctor - meet, fall into two couples, break up, re-form, break up again.
Originally a stage play, it was filmed in 2004 by Mike Nichols and starring Jude Law, Clive Owen, Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman - so I must admit that when I was stopped on the Royal Mile by a young man handing out flyers for Rush Theatre Company's production of Closer I was a little doubtful about seeing it. After all I've watched the film version several times and although that isn't quite true to the original Patrick Marber script, it has stuck in my mind. I didn't want to go along to a performance that I felt almost certain would disappoint me.
Fortunately a half-price offer on the last day of our stay in Edinburgh tempted us to go - and I'm so glad I did.
|'Daniel' handing out flyers
All in all a brilliant end to our week in Edinburgh - and one that I so nearly missed.

Porphyria at Edinburgh Fringe
At night though, while his wife sleeps, Reg dreams of his perfect woman - one with time for dancing and romance. Imagine his surprise when the new au pair arrives and is just like her! Reg soon finds himself captivated by her and his life is turned upside down.
How do you pick out a play to see from the hundreds on offer during Edinburgh Festival time? Well, in this case I was 'sold' it by the actress playing Reg's wife while I waited in the queue at the half-price ticket office, hoping another play was on offer. What precisely caught my attention I'm not sure - maybe the fact of it being a 'proper' drama, not stand-up comedy or cabaret or one of the many strange permutations that can be found at Edinburgh Fringe. Porphyria is a short - 60 minutes or thereabouts - excellent piece written and performed by The New Theatre, a student run company from Nottingham University (and, yes, it is slightly odd that I travelled all the way to Edinburgh to see someone from 'down the road').
It was enjoyable, often funny, sometimes moving. The actors worked well together creating a believable three-way changing relationship. There are a lot of restrictions on time and space with Fringe productions and I particularly liked the synchronised choreographed way of moving props - making it part of the play rather than an intrusion.
The venue, Zoo Southside, was so intimate that it felt almost possible to reach out and touch the actors. There was no raised stage to separate actors from audience which surrounded them on three sides. Quite how the cast managed to ignore us and perform so well I don't know.
Well worth catching - and I'll look out for New Theatre again more locally.

Rachel Davies - What Ever Happened to Being eXtreme?
Back in the day, I was in that first flurry of developers who got excited about eXtreme Programming (XP). The idea of writing automated tests and pair programming seemed radical at the time. After years of being stuck in waterfall hell, we got to speak to real users and deliver code - it was a wonderful time to be a developer! Fifteen years later, "Agile" somehow stopped being about software development and agile meetups are full of project managers and business analysts. Second-generation software developers roll their eyes when they hear anyone talking about "agile" and have become detached from a movement that seems to be about dragging them into even more meetings and away from their beloved code.
Yet these same developers are faced with a plethora of devices that their code needs to work in and cloud services that give them the ability to scale at speed. Techniques from XP are becoming more relevant to organizations that want to pivot fast and shift to Continuous Delivery. The tag line for Extreme Programming Explained book was "embrace change". Let's revisit old-school XP and find out what it has to offer that's been forgotten by the mainstream.
Come to this talk to hear practical experience from teams using XP for 11 years, what we dropped and what elements of XP we've adapted now we have better infrastructure for global development.

Enhancement of Explanation of Stanford WebFEATURE System for Function Prediciton in Protein Structures
Ravnish NarulaOral Defence Date:

Explanation or transparency of Machine Learning (ML) derived results, e.g. the ability to provide easy to understand and intuitively simple explanations for the predictions made are very important in adoption of such systems in practice, especially in the area of medicine and bioinformatics. Stanford WebFEATURE (http://feature.stanford.edu/webfeature/) is a WWW application to scan protein structures for identifying functional sites. It uses ML to identify these sites and hence its ability to adequately explain its decisions to users in bioinformatics research is very important so they can build confidence in the predictions made. Original WebFEATURE provides an explanation page ("more info" page) which offers very basic explanation of results to the user by simply listing some only very basic statistics. The primary goal of this work, part of joint collaborative effort with Stanford Helix Group, was to design and implement improvements of WebFEATURE explanation page in order to provide richer set of functions for improvement of users. understanding of how the predictions were made. To achieve this, we have worked extensively with Stanford team to derive new functions such as sorting of results and new types of information to be shown, and we created an interactive explanation page with new layout. These changes have been implemented, tested over multiple browsers and approved for immediate integration into new version of WebFEATURE. The secondary goal of this project was to implement general improvements on WebFEATURE infrastructure, and for this a number of infrastructure changes have been implemented, tested and integrated with new version of WebFEATURE. In this project we used modern software engineering methods like agile and scrum project management, and User Centered Design with focus groups at SFSU and Stanford for the development of the user interface of the new explanation page.

C++ Economics Model
I'm going seriously off-topic today. In the unlikely event that you've looked at the About Obson page you'll know that I'm quite interested in economics. In fact in 2015 I built a simple economic modelling system in C++, with a nice (I think) GUI using wxWidgets, in Code::Blocks. Although Code::Blocks is cross-platform I haven't attempted to compile it in any OS apart from my main one — Linux (Ubuntu).
It's incomplete, but it works pretty well as far as it goes, so I thought I'd put a copy of the source up on GitHub (https://github.com/Obson/SimX) in case anyone else is interested. There's a little case study there as well (see the README for a link) in which it is used to explore some of the propositions of Modern Money Theory.
Feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions or thoughts.
Much later…
Since writing this I've tried to download the source from Github to a different computer. Total pain! I'm not (yet) a git expert and on my Ubuntu 12.04 system I'm using GitKraken. It's a nice, albeit pre-beta, bit of software. However I can't install GitKraken on the other (Ubuntu 14.04) PC because it's for a 64-bit machine and the computer's 32-bit. If you're a command-line whiz with git, getting hold of the source won't be a problem, but I ended up just downloading the zip file. You know where you are with a zip file!
Other notes
- If you want to use the source as it stands you'll also have to install Code::Blocks and wxWidgets.
- And (important) set the compilation flag:
- I've now included the .wxs files that wxSmith uses to build the source for the GUI, since they are part of the project. However, you should not use wxSmith (or FormBuilder) as the generated code has been changed and you'll lose the changes — which are essential! If you want to change the layout please do so by changing the source files directly, not the .wxs files. If I can remove these files safely I'll do so, to avoid this risk. Not this week though!

Toronto Rental Services
Circl | Verified Rental Properties Service provider | Offers top listings of verified lanlords & tenants. Find your house or apartments for rent from thousands of houses and apartments listed on Circl".
For renters, there are several problems which waited for them, when they are searching property and move into a new rental property. But it's become easier when your landlord or homeowner is good and helping in nature. Not all landlords are equal, some of them are un-treatable and some are too nice. A pleasant landlord will always help you out in any condition and try to save your money. A good landlord will nicely treat with their tenants which will create a good and healthy relationship between both tenants and landlords but some of landlords are opposite. So there are some tips to identify good landlords.
Most of the public, including tenants and landlords, don't know the exact difference between a rental agreement and lease. It looks unimportant to us, by knowing the difference between a rental agreement and lease we may deliver some relief from the complexion of how the tenancy is carried out.
The lease will allow tenants to occupy the rental property for a specific time limit. Length of lease can be more than one year with option of renewal for another year. A lease can be only for six months, depending upon the need of tenant's and availability of landlords Rental Property. But sometimes lease comes with greater security deposits as long as renters pay the rent or abide by lease agreement terms and conditions by doing signature on it.
Once lease accepted and signed by both tenants and landlords, it cannot be changed, when both parties will agree to make some changes then it can be updated otherwise not single personality can have the lease.
A lease may also mean that renter's cannot leave the rental property with pending payments and due rent. If they do so, they break the lease and they will have to pay penalties contained within in the lease or in provincial tenancy laws. For example: a tenant and landlord will break the lease when they both agree, it is best if the agreement is written and signed by both parties, if one of the party either tenant or landlord breaks the lease, then another have right to use the laws and assign the new unit.
The rental agreement is used when landlords and tenants are agreeing to carry out for short term rental only. Rental agreements are generally for one month duration and should be renewed after completion of 30 days or 1 month. The major importance of rental agreement is that they can change frequently, a landlord or tenant may suggest for addition or revision for agreement for every month.
The rental agreement may not secure option for tenants because rent could be increased each month and landlords can ask to leave as soon as the agreement expires. But, it is beneficial for landlords, some of them are given below:
1.More Tenants
Several tenants like travelers, students, etc. who don't know when to leave or not to commit for fixed period lease. This is also for low income families who have issues finding housing with fixed period lease.
2.Eviction is Easier
In fixed period lease it is difficult to recognize the tenants who create problems and destruction and to get off from homes for rent. But in Rental agreement you can easily make adjustments as you see fit and can easily cancel the Rental agreement within the duration.
3.Rent Raises
With lease tenants pay for 12 month's rent and the amount cannot be raised. But in a month to month rental agreement, you can raise the rent as per your wish. From the start you charge more rent because tenants are paying month to month and are free to move anywhere where they want.
It become very beneficial when your rental property is near to college town, a vacation spot, or any other desirable location for peoples, it will gives you a better chance of financial succeeding with a month to month rental agreement

Advantages & Disadvantages Of Renting
Renting business is best for those peoples who cannot afford to buy a new home or require freedom & flexibility, or move ahead from one destination to another. Same as buying, renting has also a numbers of advantages and disadvantages, here are some of the following:
Advantages of renting of rental property
· Not need loan
In renting, you don't need to apply for any loan, because you don't need to buy anything or even banks also don't have any availability of loan on renting.
· Flexibility
Renting allows you more flexibility of changing the location, this is good for those who will like to move place to another and also for those who have lots of transfer in their job profile. Renting will not requires any long term commitment for staying at one place from renting side. It will allow you move on from one place to another place.
· Budget
As a renter, if you really want to live in those locations which surrounded by lots of amenities, but you don't have enough budget to buy a property, in that case renting is affordable to own a home for short term.
· Easy to move out
Leaving home is easier for renters than the homeowner, move out from rental property is much easier and to get in is also much easier, but as homeowner it is more difficult to find the new home for purchase and lots paper work have to be done to move in.
· Savings
After payment of rent, renters have additional money which can be uses to invest anywhere; it is saving towards buying a property or investing in stock market, etc. Renters will not take worry about additional funds into a home loan.
After knowing this you can consider renting properties with positive effects.
Disadvantages of Rental property
· Agreement
A renter has to sign an agreement which bound them from the freedom to use or renovate the rental property.
· Permission
You have to take permission from landlords to make any kind of changes in rental property. You cannot do it as your wish, because you own a house for short term and you are not the owner. If you done that without taking permission from landlord then you violate the agreement.
· 3rd person
If you deal with 3rd person to get the rental property, then you can take long time to resolve the issues. When real agent involves between renter and landlord it will take time solve the issues between both of them.
· No guarantee
There is no guarantee that the lease will renew when it expires, so it is better to find new rental property when your lease agreement will be going to expire.

A battery is a source of electrical energy. It is consisted by two substances, and represented by two electro-chemically active electrodes of different composition, both of which are immersed in an electrolyte that provides a conductive medium between them.
Principle of Batteries:
Electro-chemical reactions form the basis of conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy in batteries. The anode undergoes what is known as an oxidation reaction: during discharge two or more ions from the electrolyte combine with the anode to form a compound and release one or more electrons. Simultaneously, the cathode undergoes a reduction reaction.
What is the difference between primary and secondary battery?
Primary Battery: A primary battery can discharge once only. A primary battery internal structure is more simple, it doesn't have to accommodate reversible volume changes. The primary battery has bigger quality ratio and volume ratio than rechargeable battery.
Secondary Battery: a second battery is rechargeable. When discharge a rechargeable battery, its electrode volume and structure cause a reversible change. An external source of direct electrical current supplies electrons to the anode and removes them from the cathode, forcing the chemical reactions into reverse until the cell is recharged.
How a Battery works?
During battery discharge, the electrons released at the negative electrode (anode) travel through an external circuit and reach the positive electrode (cathode).
What is the purpose of electrolyte in a battery?
Charge neutrality inside the battery is established by movement of ions in an electrolyte. Thus, the electrolyte is required to be a good conductor of ions. The electrolyte in a battery may or may not participate in the reactions occurring at the electrodes, but must support the reactions.
For example, the electrolyte does not participate in the cell reactions in nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion batteries.
In the case of the zinc-manganese dioxide dry cells, a variety of neutral/alkaline electrolytes such as ammonium chloride, zinc chloride and potassium hydroxide can be employed.
Depending on the chemicals used, the zinc-manganese dioxide cell with potassium hydroxide electrolyte can be formulated as a primary cell or a secondary cell.
Why is only sulphuric acid used in batteries? Why not hydrochloric acid or nitric acid?
The working of the lead-acid battery (commonly used for starting-lighting-ignition operations in automobiles) involves
- formation of lead sulphate by oxidation of lead at the anode and
- reduction of lead dioxide at the cathode.
Because the product of battery discharge is lead sulphate on both the electrodes, the total cell reaction is sometimes referred to as double sulphate reaction.
The formation of the lead sulphate products involves sulphuric acid, which is the electrolyte used in these batteries. During battery charge, lead sulphate is converted back to lead and lead dioxide, releasing sulphuric acid into the electrolyte.
Because sulphuric acid is
- consumed during the discharge process and
- released during the charge process.
The basic reactions in the battery involve uptake and release of sulphuric acid molecules, an electrolyte of sulphuric acid is used in these batteries.
Other acids that can be used in Batteries include:
It is, however, possible to use other electrolytes with the lead-lead dioxide couple. They include perchloric acid, fluoroboric acid, fluorosilicic acid, etc.

Trucks you can trust to deliver efficiency, reliability and comfort in every dimension.
The Mercedes-Benz Prime Mover range impresses not only with a comfortable driver workplace, but also with precisely coordinated, job-matched vehicle configurations, fuel saving, efficient technology and attractive service offers which can increase the overall cost effectiveness even further.
Operators who earn their money in road-bound goods transport need reliability. In other words: trucks they can count on. With the Actros we are able to offer you a vehicle incorporating the rich fund of experience and expertise acquired over more than 100 years of German engineering. Equipped with leading Mercedes-Benz vehicle technology and components tested under the toughest conditions. This applies to engines, gearshifts, transmissions and drive axles as well as frames, chassis, suspension and cabs. Everything is perfectly coordinated, in order to meet all requirements reliably, even in extreme conditions.
Mercedes-Benz trucks stand for particularly high economic efficiency worldwide. The Actros also meets the highest standards of efficiency, based first and foremost on its particularly low fuel consumption. Low wear and a higher resale value are additional merits contributing to its high overall economic efficiency. To this end, numerous innovative technical measures were implemented in the course of developing the Actros. These result in engines with higher performance and lower fuel consumption, a powertrain which enables a particularly economical driving style, and an aerodynamic design honed down to the finest details in the interest of fuel efficiency.
Anyone who spends a lot of time on the road needs space of their own. And space for the essentials needed on long journeys. This is why the cabs of the Actros offer particularly spacious interiors – with vast amounts of stowage space and plenty of freedom of movement. In short, working, living and sleeping comfort which is geared to the work of long-distance drivers and meets their high expectations, too.
Model Overview
Our extensive range of Mercedes-Benz Prime Movers are designed with your business needs in mind, to provide you with efficiency in your day-to-day operations, reliability on the road, and a comfortable work place for the driver.
Read below to find out more, or download the brochure including technical specifications.
With fuel savings of up to 7%* compared to its already fuel-efficient predecessor, the Actros with its new 6-cylinder in-line engines is a particularly economical proposition. The engines are available in the four displacement classes 7.7 l, 10.7 l, 12.8 l and 15.6 l and in a total of 8 power output ratings from 260 kW (354 hp) to 460 kW (625 hp).
The combination of low fuel consumption and improved performance is attributable to the particularly efficient combustion strategy, the X-Pulse common-rail high-pressure injection system with an injection pressure of up to 2700 bar and the patented asymmetric turbocharger. Further factors contributing to fuel savings are the more fuel-efficient auxiliary consumers, Mercedes PowerShift 3, and the sophisticated aerodynamic design.
*The declared fuel consumption figures are determined by testing under standardised laboratory conditions. Real world fuel consumption is influenced by many additional factors such as individual driving style, load, and traffic and vehicle condition.
Solutions geared to practical needs provided the terms of reference in developing the new workplace, resulting in a whole array of components which are finely matched on both an ergonomic and functional level. These include the new cockpit, the new seats, the new multifunction steering wheel, and the touch screen stereo with truck map navigation, Bluetooth and DVD player.
Everything can be operated intuitively and is precisely tailored to the driver's work procedures. The attractive colour concept, the high-quality, perfectly applied and easy-to-clean materials and the newly developed beds are further assets providing that extra touch of work motivation.
Mercedes-Benz employs many safety and assistance systems to reduce risks and ease the burden on the driver*. In addition to the electronic braking system with disengageable ABS, ASR, Brake Assist, Hill Holder and Active Brake Assist 4^ which can detect the risk of collision with both stationary and moving obstacles, and crossing pedestrians below 50 kph; the high standard of safety is also supported by Stability Control Assist, Proximity Control Assist~ with stop/go functionality, Lane Keeping Assist, and Attention Assist. Standard systems such as the rain/light sensor, the co-driver mirror with a manoeuvring function and optional systems such as the bi-xenon headlamps^ and the tyre pressure monitoring system help the driver to avoid accidents.
* The driver is responsible for the safe conduction of the vehicle.
^Optional extra.
~Optional extra in conjunction with Active Brake Assist.

Additionally Mercedes-Benz Trucks provides as standard an inner spring mattress*.
The design of the Actros has been optimised right down to the finest details in order to reduce wind resistance. Features such as the door extensions*, aerodynamic attachments^ and the tyre pressure monitoring^ also save fuel. In addition, the StreamSpace cab has been developed specifically for low fuel consumption.
* Standard for cabs with level floor and 170 mm engine tunnel, not available for 320 mm engine tunnel.
^Optional extra.
The frame with the consistent 50 mm hole pattern provides the basis for the prime movers high body-mounting capability. Other assets include a wide range of wheelbases, frame overhangs and end crossmembers selectable ex factory and a broad selection of tank variants. Good body-mounting capability is additionally supported by the parameterizable special module^ and pre-installations and consoles which are available ex factory.
A wide choice of rear axle ratios matched to various operating profiles also plays a role in keeping fuel consumption low. Economical auxiliary consumers, such as the on-demand air compressor contribute to low fuel consumption.

I know next to nothing about the literary world and didn't need to to completely enjoy this read. Wonderful writing, interesting characters (underline characters), individual voices, a relaxed pace, thought-inducing moments, and a farcical/funny plot that held together. Enjoy.
I love to read about the inner workings of the publishing industry. Martha Grimes pulls together a fast-paced plot with tightly-drawn characters as memorable as those in her Richard Jury series. This is informative as well as entertaining. Worth the reading time.
This is not a Richard Jury mystery but it contains many of the familiar vagaries of characterization and style taken here to an even further degree of satire and farce. Set in New York with a brief detour to Pittsburgh, the plot involves a plan to eliminate one of publishing house Mackenzie-Haack's award-winning authors in favour of a hot new suspense novelist. Grimes is clearly having fun ridiculing her chosen victims – unscrupulous publishers, greedy agents and untalented egotistical writers. If you are at all familiar with the literary scene, enjoy quirky plots and have a dry sense of humour, you will thoroughly enjoy this book!

Early this morning I took photos of the different pea plants in the garden. The flowers above are (from right to left) Purple Podded; Reuzensuiker; Carouby de Mausanne. Beautiful flowers with subtle vein patterning and delicate petals - worth growing for these alone - but with the bonus of delicious pods to follow. (If you click on the photo you'll get an enlarged version.)
Here they are - little Purple Podded Peas. They need to get a little bigger, then they can be added to a stir fry and hopefully they will keep some of their beautiful colour.
And a surprise - a Golden Podded Pea which self-sowed from last year and has appeared among the broad beans. This was another vegetable from the Heritage Seed Library, it didn't do well last year and I decided not to save the seed - but it's back! so I'll save some seeds for next year.

I love the golden one!ReplyDelete

Wow. Are the peas inside purple?ReplyDelete
Sorry Freddie, the peas inside are pea-green - that's a bit disappointing really as purple peas would be great.ReplyDelete
Ashleigh, I've just checked in last year's Heritage Seed Library catalogue and the golden pea is listed as "Golden Sweet" a mange tout type pea. It is alleged to be one of the peas worked on by the botanist Gregor Mendel, the pioneer of plant genetics and heredity. So it deserves a place in my the garden for that alone.
Oh, they look soooo delicious ! Since my 'Strawberry Boast', we've had lots of rain. The flowers on our mange-tout peas are blooming, no pods yet though. I'm growing a variety called 'Ezetha's Krombek Blauwschok'. Is that the purple variety you are growing ?ReplyDelete
My purple pea is just known as "Purple-Podded-Pea", I've grown a variety called "Mr Bethell's Purple Podded" in past years but unfortunately my stock of saved seeds ran out. A fellow member of the Heritage Seed Library came to my rescue and has sent me some of his saved seed. 'Ezetha's Krombek Blauwschok' - love that name!ReplyDelete
Hello ... it's the first time I've seen your blog and it's great to know there are other purple podder fans out there! Lovely pictures. I shall be back!ReplyDelete
I'm trialling several varieties this year and it's been a great pleasure to compare their subtle quirks and differences. The HSL has some really amazing stuff, though it makes choosing the mere six packets a year a very daunting decision.

Hey buddy,ReplyDelete
My name is Sammy - I'm part of a year 9 group in Ballarat.
We have a block of land out the back of our school that is about a hectare - we using about half of this for planting fruit and vegtables.
We have been study gardening and how to become a 'sustainable school' since the start of the year... thus helping the enviroment.
Last week we planted about 30 or so Golden Podded Peas along one of our fences. As you might know, the climate of Ballarat can be cold but where they are planted they are in full shot of the sun. This suits the plant, yes?
God Bless

I just signed up to attend ThrillerFest XI next year. If the 2016 conference is anything like the 2015 event, it will be money well spent.
This year's ThrillerFest was chockablock with informative sessions that focused on topics such as story structure, narrative and the use of locale as a character. Other workshops (and there were at least several dozen) addressed copyrights, building a productive relationship with an agent and marketing one's book.
An added bonus was a chance to meet others who love to read and write. The instructors were enthusiastic and the attendees were generous with their insights and occasional frustrations about the writing process.

Amalio Martinez, the senior manufacturing foreman at Ormiston Wire, has retired after an impressive 47 years of service. However, Amalio will continue to work onsite part-time as a factory foreman, employing the wealth of experience he has clocked up since joining the company in 1966.
"Everyone at Ormiston Wire recognises that Amalio has always been very passionate about his work," commented Mark Ormiston, Managing Director, Ormiston Wire. "His attention to detail is exceptional and we will continue to benefit from his dedication and expertise." The policy of offering staff the opportunity to stay on beyond retirement if they wish to is nothing to do with government policy but is a well-established tradition that has been observed by Ormiston Wire for many years.
Ormiston Wire has established this culture of continuity from the beginning; the specialist wire and braid manufacturing company was founded by James Ormiston in 1793 and six generations later the company is still led as an independent and family-run business by his descendant, Mark Ormiston.

How to market your event on Twitter
How to market your event on Twitter
Social media moves fast, but nowhere is it faster than on Twitter. If you're promoting events on Twitter, it means your marketing strategy needs to evolve quickly too.
Twitter may be one of the most challenging networks for social media event marketing, but it's also one of the most rewarding.
What makes Twitter a unique platform for events
Tweets may be short, but the Twitter community is large: the platform has 320 million monthly active users. Used by 21% of women and 24% of men, Twitter is most popular among high-income millennials: a prime ticket-buying demographic.
If your event draws a younger, tech-savvy crowd, Twitter should be a vital part of your promotion strategy. Michelle Manafy of Inc. calls Twitter users "information junkies," referring to a wide variety of information: technology, news, sports, marketing, journalism etc.
Choosing an event hashtag and Twitter bio
The first step in promoting your event on Twitter is to create a hashtag and bio that embodies the spirit of your event.
Hashtags are one of the most effective ways to consolidate conversation about your event on Twitter. When choosing an event hashtag, you want to keep it concise and memorable. When in doubt, consider simply using your event name, its acronym, or even including a hashtag in the official name of your event. Also, be sure to double check that the hashtag isn't already being used. Before finalising your event hashtag, search Twitter to make sure it's not already in use.
Your event's Twitter bio is one of the first things people will see on your profile. As Google prioritises social media profiles, it's likely your Twitter account will show up high in search results for your event.
Write a brief, catchy profile — ideally just one sentence — that describes your event and gives the date, location and link to the ticketing page of the next event.
And don't forget the value of images on social media. You'll want to use your logo as the profile picture and a fun photo of a recent event for your banner photo that captures the excitement from a previous event. Your Twitter profile photo should be 400×400 pixels, and your header image should be 1500×1500 pixels.
Promoting your event on Twitter
Culturally relevant and timely posts work great on Twitter. Twitter users are usually most interested in news, quick tips, interesting articles, and trending topics. Use quick, witty, and eye-catching updates to engage them with your event.
Every social media platform is a bit different, but on Twitter images are king. Posts with images are a third more likely to get retweeted than posts without them, according to Twitter.
Beyond images, keep the post concise (obviously) and as eye-catching and to the point as possible. Send out news, tips, how-tos, interesting articles and trends. And ideally, you'll want to keep them shorter than the 140 character limit. The ideal length depends on your audience, but in general stick to a 70 to 100 character range. Tweets shorter than 100 characters have a 17% higher engagement rate, according to social media management platform Buffer.
Be aware that a tweet reaches its peak after 18 minutes, so you'll want to post more frequently than on other networks!
The best time to tweet
Most tweets are sent between noon and 1pm in each time zone. This could be because there's a lot of people engaging with Twitter at that time, but it could not. You'll need to run some tests to work out what times of day your particular audience is on Twitter.
You don't need fancy analytics to find the best time to use Twitter for events. For a week, try posting once a day during that noon prime time, and once during a less popular hour. Then look back on your tweet impressions for each post, which you can find in Twitter's free analytics. See which time slot is getting your posts in front of the most eyes, and stick with that.
Using Twitter walls at the event
At the event, it's worth showcasing a Twitter wall. These screens display tweets and images as they're posted — if they're tagged with your event's hashtag. People love to be in the spotlight on these tweet walls, and your attendees are no exception.
To encourage use, make sure your hashtag is visible on displays and screens throughout the event so people don't forget it.
Twitter is face-paced and whilst that may seem intimidating it offers a variety of opportunities to get in front of your potential audience and become essential in your social media marketing toolbelt.

At gamescom 2015, Crystal Dynamics shared some gameplay from Rise of the Tomb Raider "Advancing Storm," which showed Lara going head-on against the enemy. Following the demonstration, a lot of fans asked the developer if it was possible to play with less enemy engagement. In response to that, Crystal Dynamics has released the video above, showing off stealth playthrough of the same section, stating that the combat system enables players to choose how to play. The developer wrote:
Some fans asked whether it was possible to play "Advancing Storm" with less enemy engagement. Rise of the Tomb Raider's expanded combat system centers on player choice, and provides Lara with even more skills, for a spectrum of strategies ranging from stealth to aggression. This alternate playthrough demonstrates a completely non-lethal approach.
Rise of the Tomb Raider will be out this year for the Xbox One, and during holiday 2016 for the PlayStation 4.

text: US / Baltimore Other Driver Blamed for Phelps Crash Swimmer to be cited for using invalid driver's license By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Aug 15, 2009 6:11 AM CDT Copied A Cadilliac Escalade belonging to Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps sits on a tow truck near the collision site in Baltimore on Thursday, night. (AP Photo/Steve Ruark) View 2 more images (Newser) – Police don't believe Michael Phelps was to blame for his car accident in Baltimore Thursday night but the swimmer will have to go to court for producing an invalid Michigan driver's license after the crash, the Baltimore Sun reports. The other driver, a 28-year-old woman who was slightly injured when her Honda Accord hit Phelps' Cadillac, is to be charged with running a red light. Phelps—who pleaded guilty to a drunk driving charge in 2004—told police he had drunk one beer four hours before the accident and they declined to breathalyze him. He did not "show any signs of fatigue or alcohol use," the police report says. The Olympic champ, who trains both in Baltimore and at the University of Michigan, was issued a $40 citation because he hasn't established a legal residency in Maryland.

Gwynne was an old established engineering company based in Chiswick, London, that made cars between 1922 and 1929. It was set up by Nevile Gwynne, brother of Rupert and Roland Gwynne.
Gwynne Engineering was founded in 1849 and during World War 1 made Clerget rotary aircraft engines. In 1920 they got an order to make engines for the 12 hp Albert car and in 1922 bought the company and moved production to their Chiswick works. In 1923 the name of the car was changed to Gwynne-Albert and the engine enlarged to 14 hp.
In 1922 they started to make a small car, the Gwynne Eight, based on the design of the Spanish Victoria car. This had an 850 cc 4 cylinder overhead valve engine producing 24 bhp. Financial problems arose in 1923 and a receiver was appointed but production continued. About 2250 examples of the Eight were made.
A larger model, the Gwynne Ten was offered from 1927 and about 600 were made before production ceased in 1929.

Although booking a holiday is very exciting, working out all the details can often be quite stressful – especially if you're travelling as a group or a family. And this stress doesn't always end when you arrive, either, with things like excursions, meals out and other activities all needing to be arranged separately.
Step up the all inclusive holiday – a quick and easy option for people who don't have the time or inclination to book all the aspects of their trip separately. The following are just a few of the advantages to going down the all inclusive route.
Know your budget
It can be incredibly easy to overspend when you're on holiday, with so many exciting things to see and do in a new country. If you've organised each part of your getaway individually, you'll need to budget for expenses like food and tours in addition to transport and accommodation.
This can get confusing very quickly and if you've never been to a particular destination before, it can sometimes be tough to work out exactly how much you'll need each day for eating out and other activities. So this may mean you end up spending considerably more than you'd intended.
With all inclusive holidays you won't have any of these financial worries, because you'll know exactly how much everything will cost well in advance of your trip. This not only gives you a clear savings goal to work towards, but also means you can more accurately assess how much spending money you'll want to take along.
What's more, all inclusive deals can often be cheaper than booking each component of your break separately, because tour operators are able to get better deals on things like flights and accommodation than you can individually.
Take the stress out of booking
Once you've narrowed down where you'd like to go on holiday, choosing an all inclusive package is the only thing you need to do before you book – saving you a lot of time and effort hunting for the best deals on hotels, flights and activities.
A word of advice, though; make sure you understand exactly what the deal entails before you hand over any money, as some all inclusive offers are better than others. You can expect transport, accommodation and food to be included as a minimum, but things like alcoholic drinks, certain sports and tours may be extra (or feature in a more expensive package), so double-check that you're getting what you want from your package.
Choose from a range of destinations
All inclusive holidays are popular the world over, so you shouldn't find it too difficult to find a deal in your chosen destination. Places like Majorca have well-developed resorts that provide everything you'll need on your holiday (you can see examples of what's on offer here), with many European travelers enjoying the lack of hassle involved with booking this type of trip.
In addition to the Balearic and Canary islands, you can also find great all inclusive deals in mainland Spain, France, Italy, Turkey and Greece, as well as further afield in African destinations like Egypt and Tunisia, or on the other side of the Atlantic in the Caribbean.
If you're concerned that going on this type of package holiday will mean you don't see much of the place you're staying in, don't worry. Most hotels offer a wide range of tours and excursions that will allow you to explore the country you're in, so you can easily see much more than simply what your holiday resort has to offer.

scavenger hunt
Connecticut-based artist Amy Eisenfeld Genser layers, rolls, and cuts paper to make these beautiful paper collages over her painted surfaces. It is evident that patterns in nature influence Genser, considering for example the beehive layout of the paper elements and the organic qualities of the compositions. I love the flow of the paper and color schemes within […]

paper cut letters
I found Annie Vought on pinterest, and was compelled to share her work here. (and to you know, start blogging again.) Her work consists of black paper cut outs of hand-written letters. The finished work is about the size of a poster, rather than an actual letter. The words aren't always legible, but there's something […]

Lydia Shirreff made the following paper works. I love the consistent play of geometry in her works; the color palette works well with all of the corners and in other instances, layers of pieces of paper. Haus Vogel (the first image) is a collaborative project with Castro Smith in Berlin, 2009. The fourth image is […]

tax returns
Nava Lubelski rolled up tax returns, rejection letters, and other various paper waste products to create these cellular paper sculptures. I liked the following quote explaining the project more in depth: "The cellular coils spiral outward, mimicking biological growth, as they are glued together into flat rounds, which suggest lichen, doilies or disease." via.

History of Paikre
In 1995 the general plan of the municipality of Paikuse foresaw establishing a new landfill. Pärnu city and Paikuse municipality created a private limited company for organizing waste management and setting up a new landfill on 8th of February 2002. Paikuse Jäätmekäitluskeskus in two equal shares was created. On Raba 39 plot was designed a sorting station and on Põlendmaa ground a new landfill.
- 10th of March 2006 started its operation waste sorting station at Raba 39, focused on material recycle.
- 11th of May 2006, OÜ Paikuse Jäätmekäitluskeskus was renamed OÜ Paikre.
- 12th of June 2006 a new landfill was opened in Paikuse, Põlendmaa, with a capacity to bury ca 1,5 milion tons of wastes. On the same day Rääma landfill in Pärnu stopped its operation.
In 2006-2011 Rääma landfill was closed, which was in active use since 1957. The capacity of this 18 ha in size and 13 meters in depth garbage hill is ca 1,2 milion tons.
In the process of closure a landfill-gas based CHP plant was built, which started electricity production on 30th of September 2011. Plant´s electricity and heat production power is accordingly 150 kW and power 180 kW.
Paikre is actively developing new business lines. Paikre as a waste sector company is standing good for promoting environmental education in the county of Paikre. Accordingly to the states waste management plan the target is to recycle as much as possible, incl reuse and bury as little as possible in landfill, so that the impact to the environment would be minimal. All wastes accepted by Paikre are treated according to the requirements.

More than 8 in 10 Chief Financial Officers believe the U.S. economy will not recover until the second half of 2011, if not later, according to a survey of more than 500 CFO's conducted by Grant Thornton International.
Just 24 percent of those surveyed said they plan to hire over the next six months, with 21 percent of respondents indicating they plan to decrease hiring.
CFO's in the Central Region, which includes Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, generally mirrored the national average, but were more bearish in two categories. Just 36 percent of CFO's surveyed in the Central Region expected their company's financial prospects to improve over the next six months, compared to 46 percent nationally. Also, 64 percent of CFO's in the Central Region were concerned about a double-dip recession, compared to 59 percent overall.
The final survey question on which Central Region CFO's differed from their counterparts across the nation was on the best way to create jobs. A full 38 percent from the region responded that cutting personal income tax rates would best create jobs compared to 29 percent of CFO's nationwide.
According to Jim Burton, managing partner in Grant Thornton's Denver office, the findings fell in line with what they anticipated, based on client feedback.
He said employers continue to be cautious on hiring due to slow growth, coupled with "continuing challenges in governmental budgets that may lead to tax increases."
The nationwide survey of more than 500 CFO's and comptrollers was conducted from Oct. 5 through Oct. 15, with 65 respondents representing the Central Region.

It's official, Sonny Moore aka Skrillex is back in From First to Last
The band has confirmed.
You know all that talk about Sonny Moore rejoining From First to Last? Well FFTL has made it official, as you can see from the photo above.
A few weeks back the band played a surprise show with Sonny in LA. And before that they released a new song called "Make War."
We presume more material is in the works.
And we wouldn't be opposed to a Heroine reunion tour. As last year marked the 10th anniversary of the album — the last record Sonny appeared on.

A freind of mine from san luis potosin works for the zetas and he says there is no money coming in not from drugs kidnaping or nothing because of the military and its getting nasty for them and he says there is starting to get into fights between them selfs. Some leaders are starting asking there workers that in case of a fight which leader wil you pick.ReplyDelete
this article/map is bullshit, zetas dont control crap in sonora and chihuahua and in durangoReplyDelete
What the hell? How accurate is this map and do you fellow BB-ers buy this? And someone explain this to me--I thought Northwestern Mexico, particularly Sonora was heavily dominated by Sinaloa. Here it shows otherwise, so when did Sinaloa lose the whole state? I thought Sinaloa was dug in deeper in that area than an Alabama tick.
LOL look at north Tamaulipas CDG controls reynosa etc(until nuevo laredo) this map is full of shitReplyDelete
Correct me if I'm wrong but Zetas don't control Chihuahua and Sonora! And why isn't Cartel de Juarez on the map?
Why does lfm/ct only own half of Michoacan they have a tight grip on itReplyDelete
Did a STRATFOR genius make up this map?ReplyDelete
I have not studied the map and it may be at odds with the written word. My take from the written word is there are instances of their activity in the area as opposed to an allegation they have control there. In regard to the Zetas, many of their incursions into areas of others have been as a result of alliances. They perform a mission and then withdraw. It is slightly misleading when taken as a whole. You have to wonder if that is based on lack of knowledge or serves a purpose.ReplyDelete
Another egg head intellectual probably from a university with a flawed theory and visual aids. Where is CDG, are they dead? Juarez?
This does not compute with other postings on this site inn the past.
We all kno zetas dnt run northern Durango..if Dats the case,where's El chapo hiding out then?ReplyDelete
It looks like according to this map that if the Zetas have any presence at all they'll give them at least half the state. Notice they don't do that for other cartels in the states that they say the Zetas fully control.
And hey, there's no rataZ in Veracruz anymore?
Besides being inaccurate, this map is deceptive and biased.
My nephew painted that map hes 7 years old. Stratfor is trying to contact him because he knows more than stratfor specialists about this drug war. Inches gringos no saben que pendejadas dibujar para llamar la atencion.ReplyDelete
jajaja yes well...
This is not an American press article and map.
See at bottom? Mexican press and Mexican agencies. just translated from spanish.
That said,global think tanks have reported this information for more than 8 mos.
As for accuracy, I do have issue with some of the territory but I am just one person that does not have access to the info the agencies do. Because we post a story does not mean we fully support or even support something, just bringing you what is out there and this is a widely published story, then you decide for yourself. Paz Chivis
What game is the mexican government-media trying to play with this map? Maybe its called lets all kill all zetas for taking over mexico? PEOPLE WE CANT BELIEVE SHIT FROM MEXICAN MEDIAReplyDelete
Fue el pendejo del Cuitlauac, and his the head of SIEDO. Es bueno ver que Mexico conserva sus costumbres, en especial esta de poner a cualquier pendejo en cargos publicos.ReplyDelete
The Mexican government is trying to make the Zetas look like a bigger threat than they are so it can continue its covert support of the Sinaloa Cartel. The real big event this year will be if/when the PRI takes back power. Will they change the strategy?ReplyDelete
Absoultely strategy will change. Pena, the frontrunner (by a mile) already says so. I have been following the election and posting on forum. I will try to put somehting together especially what Pena has said, which is not much as he only in "depth" spoke about this once. Paz Chivis

C.d.g is alot bigger then most think and wtf id juarez they still have power also..... I smell the gov. Tryinh to jelp sinaloa by makin the zetas look bigger n more dangourse ima print this out then whipe my rear with this mapReplyDelete
No shit cdg controls most of tamps who ever made this map must live im alaska now were near mexico o live in tamps and zetas dont comtrol shit besides nuevo laredo if ur a zetas the common folks here rat u out to cdg or militaryReplyDelete
Mexican Cartel Territories are a hot topic. These people want to present as if they know all the new trends and for the most part, almost everyone on this site has done more research or knows more then them first hand. The Zeta phenomenon has been the big horror or fear factor grabber for the past couple of years.They are growing and have made allies with CDJ and BLO but that does not mean they own the territory of the cartels that are allies. Take Chihuahua for instance. How would La Linea and the Barrio Astecas react to the Zetas kidnapping and extorting in their plaza? This whole thing is not real at all.
10:58 AM...Chivis...Ya'll are both very on target about the Zeta Propaganda and political stances. PRI will require a truce and give power back to the states which in turn will return power to plaza bosses and local cartels. Things will change and the military will go back to their box.
"What game is the mexican government-media trying to play with this map? Maybe its called lets all kill all zetas for taking over mexico?"
That sounds good to me. I think anyone who even talks to a Zeta should get a bullet in the head. FUCKING KILL ALL THE ZETAS!
SIEDO Made the map..it states as much in the article.ReplyDelete
Its obvious the mexican goverment is desperately screaming help us the Zetas and their allies are whooping our ass,we need Chapo to be on top,so we will make it seem like Zetas control all of Mexico incluiding their allies territories,seriously Zetas control Sonora and Chihuhua thats straight BS!!!!ReplyDelete
this map is BS, and so is Borderlandbeat, for the past year this site has been pro-zetas de a madre... why isn't Juarez painted on the map? CDG is making heavy presence in Zacatecas yet this map shows none of it. Like a few comments above said, CDG owns most of tamaulipas with the exception of Nva.Cd.Guerrero, and Nuevo Laredo, and a few citys close to SLP... Just because there are roaches in your house doesn't mean they own it does it? same applies to the zetas, just because they are in a state doesnt mean they run it. Zetas are like the oxxo, where chapo is like walmart hahaReplyDelete
Sorry. Confused. It is a global waing map.ReplyDelete
jejeje pendejo calderon usa estratejias viejas de guerra para contratacar a sus enemigos ,todos sabemos que los Zetas no controlan todo ese territorio.ReplyDelete
The map is way of my name is EL TB and northern baja belongs to EL CAF and BAJA SUR they control over 85 percent including CALIFORNIA ALL OF SAN DIEGO that how they charge a fee for crossing anything going threw BAJA CALIFORNIA AND ALSO RENT OUT SPOT THREW OUT THE REGION PARA LA FAMILIA DE TIJUANA PURO PADELANTEReplyDelete

This map couldn't be more wrong.ReplyDelete
FINALLY....Buela's on the main board....and still on the BB forum too.
This is Borderland Beat at it's best.
I don't believe this stupid map either. Someone put's out an article and then it becomes the "holy grail"
THIS IS TO THE ANONYMOUS WHO WROTE WHO GIVES A FUCK I TOLD YOU WHAT IM CALLED AND MY NAME AND WERE AM AT WHAT THE FUCK IS YOURE NAME PENDEJO PURO TIJUANA BAJA CALIFORNIAReplyDelete
MARIO ALEJANDRO,Brother i think he meant the map,not you.You sound as though you know what the fuck you talkin about,unlike most of these clowns who never done dirt in they life.ReplyDelete
This map is much too simplistic and general.
Still, it shows the broad trend of the Z and Sinaloa as rivals, each taking dominance of Mexico.
still havent seen a regular mapReplyDelete
Puros ratas los zetas roban a los pobres y secruestan a los indijinos para aser SIS maldadesReplyDelete
I'm an American that lives south of Guadalajuara, Lake Chapala. The Mexican government picks it' fights. When a murderer kills a murderer, it's a win-win situation. It' not as if there as many innocent citizens killed in major cities in Mexico as there is in the US. Keep the guns on the US side.ReplyDelete

Was the chicken a jerk? I thought 'jerk' was reserved for the masculine gender, so shouldn't the rooster be the jerk? On the other hand, why is the poor poultry being subjected to name calling in the first place? Ha ha ha … this recipe name always cracks me up. I know it's juvenile to laugh at such things but my brain is wired in weird ways! So coming to the point…nobody is a jerk here (except maybe the gas connection guys – but that's another story)!
Jerk is a style of Jamaican cooking where the meat is generally dry rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican Jerk spice (courtesy: Wiki). The inspiration for this, was the fact that I had a bottle of All-spice and the rest of the ingredient list (including Demerara sugar) available in my pantry. I know! Sometimes I surprise myself! So I proceeded to make the mixture and marinated the chicken overnight. I cooked it for lunch this afternoon and maybe was a bit overenthusiastic in charring the chicken. (Well, the recipe said 45 mins and I was loitering around!) Of course I've tweaked the cooking time down to 30 mins for you guys – the martyr that I am, taking the hit so that you can have a good recipe! It's a good change from the regular tandoori or grilled chicken recipes. Enjoy it with some beer on a hot afternoon J
Jamaican Jerk Chicken
Prep time: 10 mins
Marinating time: 4 hours or overnight
Grilling time: 30 mins
Serves: 4
What you need:
8 Chicken Pieces (thigh + leg combo)
1 tsp ground Allspice
¼ – ½ tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp dried Thyme
1/24 tsp grated Nutmeg
2 tsp Demerara Sugar
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 Tbsp Onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp Spring Onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp Vinegar
2 Tbsp Oil
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
1 Hot Chilli Pepper
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
What to do:
Combine all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Mash them together well to form a thick paste. (Use a mortar and pestle or whir in the mixie for 30 secs).
Lay the chicken pieces on a board and make several slits in the flesh. Rub the seasoning all over the chicken and in the slits. Place the chicken on a plate, cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight.
Shake off any excess marinade from the chicken, brush with oil and place either on a baking sheet if cooking inside or a grill if barbequing outside.
Cook on a preheated grill for 30 mins (turning often and checking for doness).
Serve hot with Salad leaves.
