Live Now Tribute to the great #GilScotHeron

Tinned tomatoes contain two times the antioxidant lycopene of fresh.


Tinned tomatoes contain two times the antioxidant lycopene of fresh.
They are also up to 75% cheaper and always in season.
#EatTheRainbow

What Is Lycopene ?

This incredible little molecule was first isolated in 1910, and the full molecule structure was discovered in 1931.

First of all, lycopene is a phytonutrient.
Put simply, phytonutrients are antioxidants found in plant life.

These nutrients are not originally created by the human body, but rather produced by plants as a defence against environmental damage, such as pests, toxins and UV damage.

Instead of allowing free radicals to run free within the plant, it creates various types of phytonutrients to protect itself.

Just like plants, we’re subjected to a lot of dangerous environmental chemicals and other things, like prolonged sun exposure, that can cause free radicals to damage cells throughout our entire bodies as well.

That’s why it’s so important to “eat the rainbow.”
If you regularly eat plants of all colors, you can ensure you get enough phytonutrients to keep your body healthy.

Ostara Spell The Spring Equinox, called Ostara by many, is a day of perfect balance between night and day, darkness and light, slumber and awakening.

Many craft traditions, covens, and solitaries have devised their own rituals for awakening Mother Earth at this time.

Many of these can be traced back to England.
One common practice is to walk through a natural area, tap the earth three times with a staff or wand, and make a joyful noise to welcome the Goddess's return.

This ritual is performed three times in keeping with the sacred number of many of the Pagan sects from western European countries.

Now is not only a good time to awaken Mother Earth, but also to awaken ourselves.

We should ask: Are we only going through the motions now ?
Or are we reawakening our spiritual selves, and seeing anew all the magical possibilities of spring ?
To awaken your own body, mind, and soul to spring's rebirth, give back to Mother Earth some of the things we've taken from her.

Plant a tree, herb garden, or flowers.

Feed her animals and birds.

Chinese 101 - 龍(lóng) Dragon

Did you know dragons in Chinese culture are distinctly different from their flying, fire-breathing Western counterparts?

They have the eyes of a rabbit, the antlers of a deer, mouth of a bull, head of a camel, belly of a clam, palms of a tiger, claws of an eagle, scales of a fish, and the body of a snake—can you imagine?

Original bronze inscriptions of the character 龍 were of its left side alone, which clearly showed the dragon's body and horns. Later the right side of the character was added: the upper right portion symbolized the dragon's sharp claws, while the lower right portion symbolized its fins and tail.

Chinese dragons can be further divided into good or evil ones. Good dragons possess extraordinary powers and enjoy helping those who are kind and devout, such as the White Dragon King's daughter in this year's Shen Yun performance. Evil dragons abuse their powers and terrorize the populace, such as the red dragon in last year's dance, Ne Zha and the Dragon (Ne Zha Stirs The Sea).

The Bread is Baked and ready.


The Bread is Baked and ready.
The sky is the daily bread of the eyes Ralph Waldo Emerson

It’s a fun way of cooking with a 6,000-year-old tradition.
There are two types of wood-fired ovens: "black ovens" and "white ovens".

Black ovens are heated by burning wood in a chamber. Food is cooked in that same chamber while the fire is still going, or in the heated chamber after the fire and coals have been swept out.

White ovens are heated by heat transfer from a separate combustion chamber and flue-gas path. Thus, the oven remains "white", or clean from ash.

While the traditional wood-fired oven is a masonry oven, such ovens can also be built out of adobe, cob or cast iron.

Wood-fired ovens are distinct from wood-fired stoves that have a hot cooking surface for pots and pans, like on a gas or electric stove.
A wood stove may also have an oven separate from the fire chamber.

Regardless of material they all have an oven chamber consisting of a floor (or hearth), a dome and an entry (oven opening).

Unlike modern household gas or electric ovens that provide a nearly constant cooking temperature, a black oven is typically heated only once during the firing stage (the combustion of wood inside the chamber).
After the coals are raked out, the oven gradually cools over a period of hours or even days (in the case of a well-insulated oven).

Oven temperatures may exceed 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (538 degrees Celsius).

The mass of the oven acts as a 'thermal battery', which slowly releases heat over time.
The retained heat in the oven may be used to bake multiple batches. Alternatively, foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked in succession as the temperature of the oven drops.

Nowruz, the Persian New Year
On the first Day of Spring

Nowruz or Norooz, pronounced no-rooz, is the festival that heralds the spiritual new year for Persian and some Central Asian communities, celebrating the start of spring and all that it entails: renewal, rebirth and new beginnings.

Nowruz, which falls on the first day of spring (vernal equinox), is a secular holiday, observed across the faiths and goes back some three thousand years, with practices that are partly rooted in the rituals and traditions of Zoroastrianism, the religion of ancient Persia, before the advent of Islam in 7th century A.D.

Nowruz is celebrated not just in Iran but also in other countries in Central Asia, like Iraq, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan and Turkey. The Indian Parsis also observe this holiday.

The image below shows you a Haft-Seen table, a table ladened with symbolic items to bring in the new year.

Undulating sense of melody

Undulating sense of melody

Originally shared by Jon “the chef” Hole

Hindi Zahra is a Franco-Moroccan singer and actress,her original gently undulating sense of melody.
With a subtle, understated guitar, a dash of gypsy between the lines, and a hint of blues with a capital B.

Time stands still - Intense, intimate, poetic vibrations, with a velvety feline timbre. At thirty, Hindi Zahra is neither a reality show wonder nor the umpteenth shooting star fizzing across the firmament of vocal jazz.

Music is the story of her life, a family affair.
Her songs are mostly in English but some lyrics as in the song "Imik Si Mik" are in the Berber language.

Thanks Hugo Alexandre Cruz for putting me on to this artist :)

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious That is what i say to this !!!
So luv Rhubarb what a way to do it

In the United Kingdom, the first rhubarb of the year is harvested by candlelight in forcing sheds
where all other light is excluded - a practice that produces a sweeter, more tender stalk

Rhubarb has been used for medical purposes by the Chinese for thousands of years and appears in The Divine Farmer's Herb-Root Classic,
Compiled about 2700 years ago

Imported along the Silk Road, reaching Europe in the 14th century through the ports of Aleppo and Smyrna, and becoming known as "Turkish rhubarb".

Later, when the usual route lay through Russia, "Russian rhubarb" became the familiar term.

The value of rhubarb can be seen in Ruy Gonzáles de Clavijo's report of his embassy in 1403-05 to Timur in Samarkand:
"The best of all merchandise coming to Samarkand was from China: especially silks, satins, musk, rubies, diamonds, pearls, and rhubarb.

"Sock in the eye" +Stephanie Stiavetti :)
#rhubarb #rhubarbrecipes 

Originally shared by Stephanie Stiavetti

Pickled rhubarb is sweet, spicy, and simply put: bracing.

It's a pickle-lover's pickle. A bit can likely cause the weak-willed to suck air in through their teeth after a bite and grip the table. But the flavor, the sweetness, the sour air, the tart slap, and with a spice with enough bite that it leaves marks like a bad (or good) kisser. If you have leftover vinegar after using the pickled rhubarb, reserve it for vinaigrette, cocktails, or whatever else you think needs a tart, astringent sock in the eye.

Ingredients:
3 stalks rhubarb
2 star anise
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Half cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
5 whole cloves
5 whole peppercorns
1½ cup white vinegar
¾ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
Equipment:
1 32-ounce canning jar, with lid

"I plant rosemary all over the garden, so pleasant is it to know that at every few steps one may draw the kindly branchlets through one's hand, and have the enjoyment of their incomparable incense; and I grow it against walls, so that the sun may draw out its inexhaustible sweetness to greet me as I pass"
Gertrude Jekyll

Originally shared by Jon “the chef” Hole

Rosemary my Queen of the herbs "Where Rosemary flourishes, the Woman rules" and in England it was believed that rosemary could not grow in the garden of the home unless the mistress was the master.

Carrying a twig protects from the evil eye.

Is believed to attract faerie and good energies.
Rosemary in twigs hung over cradles prevented faeries from stealing infants.

A man who is indifferent to the fragrance of rosemary is unable to give true love to a woman and those who smell rosemary frequently will retain their youth.
( I got my head in it ;)

Place rosemary under your pillow to help you to remember your dreams and to keep away nightmares and other unwanted nighttime visitations.

If you haven't chosen a mate yet and have several to think about, name a pot for each one and plant rosemary in each pot.
The one that grows the fastest and strongest is your best choice.
If you don't have any options, make a poppet of yourself and stuff it with rosemary to attract a lover to you.
You can also do this to attract healing energy.

Wear Rosemary oil on those occasions that you want to make a lasting impression.

Scientific evidence suggests that rosemary does in fact stimulate the memory centers of the brain.
So use a sprig of rosemary as a book-marker and wear rosemary oil when studying and on test day to help you remember what you need to know.

#BBC #FakeNews

"Several people have been in touch with me today about the discovery of the 'Templar' cave in Shropshire, England.

Amidst all the excitement I just did a radio interview pointing out that the cave most probably has nothing whatsoever to do with the Knights Templar.

Not a single Templar symbol is to be seen and the architectural format does not follow any accepted Templar/Christian sacred architectural formats.

So what is it?

Well, when you take the tea lights away, its not that special.
Several such caves exist in Shropshire, the nearby Hawkstone Cave, for example; a project created by a wealthy landowner to stimulate a local village economy.

These caves were often referred to as 'druids grottoes' having been carved in the fashion of druidic altars, which were all the rage in mid-Victorian England.

Albeit there is no sign of classic Templar/Christian architecture, many features correspond with druidism and neo-paganism. I'm going to write a blog about this next week." Ashley Cowie

R.I.P. Clyde Stubblefield "The worlds most sampled drummer"

R.I.P. Clyde Stubblefield "The worlds most sampled drummer"
Clyde Stubblefield played drums for James Brown for 6 years but his legacy has lasted a lot longer than that.
His rhythms have been extensively sampled and particularly his 'Funky Drummer' break helped lay the foundations of Hip Hop, and later jungle and a whole world of electronic music.

RIP Clyde Stubblefield April 18, 1943 – February 18, 2017

I found my Desert Rose birthday song,woman and Wine ;) On U #SoundCloud
Mr Pianissimo playing :
"I am a 28-year-old software engineer and amateur composer living in the beautiful city of Seattle. I have no musical training or background at all. I taught myself to play piano in August of 2014 and then started actually composing in January 2015. Even though I've only been doing this a short time, I can already see that composing music is my life's passion!

I focus on composing atmospheric, evocative ethnic pieces that take my listeners on a journey through both time and space. I'm obsessed with medieval sounds, but also love Celtic/Northern European, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Far Eastern ethnic vibes. I also love the piano and I'm really trying to focus on improving my skills there as well :)

Every piece you hear on my cloud is 100% original music that is composed, recorded (using VSTs), and produced by myself. No remixes, no covers (unless explicitly stated), no loops, and absolutely NO prerecorded "musical phrases" (with the very rare exception of occasional vocal phrases). I manually compose and record every single note of every instrument you hear ... whether it's a violin, flute, vocals, drums, or anything else!

If you have interest in using one of my pieces for something or if you are interested in collaboration, please contact me through private message with your request.

Also, don't be shy! Feel free to shoot me a message even just to introduce yourself. I love connecting with other soundcloud artists :)

Now that that's all out of the way, put on a good pair of headphones and enjoy!

The Chefs Brain "Chefs exert expert motor and cognitive performances on a daily basis.

The Chefs Brain "Chefs exert expert motor and cognitive performances on a daily basis.
Neuroimaging has clearly shown that that long-term skill learning (i.e., athletes, musicians, chess player or sommeliers) induces plastic changes in the brain thus enabling tasks to be performed faster and more accurately.
How a chef’s expertise is embodied in a specific neural network has never been investigated.

Conclusions

We found that chefs are characterized by an anatomical variability involving the cerebellum.
This confirms the role of this region in the development of similar expert brains characterised by learning dexterous skills, such as pianists, rock climbers and basketball players.
However, the nature of the cellular events underlying the detected morphological differences remains an open question.

"The intentions which arise only from the clearly asserted desire to go to the end of the hypothetical and absolute need, constantly annihilated, rejected and sublimated to better grasp the uncertain contours of an affirmation for ever questioned, participates only Of an obvious hypothesis aiming only to confirm the relative aptitude of each thing to participate in a model of evolution concretizing the absolutism of the reasons which founded it.

The anguish of the incomprehension of rejection formulated by omnipresent and omnipotent incompatibility will be, in fact, only sublimated by the reduction of a tiny part that still remains to be defined.

This most imposing part of the different degrees of a formidable description generates the characteristic explosion of a recasting of all the elements contained in the space comprised between the information of an uncertain imaginary and the construction of an ultimate set of constitution unique.

It is unnecessary to specify to which unit all this architecture is linked, especially considering the small but not insignificant value of the duration as positive as determined by the resultant thus reported.

It is therefore not as simple as the way to apprehend the totality as a whole, to conclude that the complementary interrelationship of all the preceding openings and the need not to Other than what constitutes the very foundation of the absence of a new one.

The means of safely adding the complete information essential to the logical logical operation at the origin of at least a fraction of what might be considered a good progression becomes substantially the opposite of each of the constraints not yet definitively stated .

It is easy to see that the complementarities of the different constituents perceived as the insurmountable objective of this part allied to the return, to summarize, of the rest of a subjective information reaches the limits of what can be accepted considering the impact of Many areas formed by the release of a contradictory stake.

Nope ? Frankly !

The Waldorf Hotel “the worst view of any hotel in the world”

The Waldorf Hotel “the worst view of any hotel in the world”
Is this a joke?
Nope - it's a genuine art hotel with fully functioning ensuite facilities and limited car parking. Operated by the local community, we offer a warm welcome to everyone from all sides of the conflict and across the world.

Is it safe?
Yes. The hotel is located in a bustling area fully open to tourists from across the world. It has all the restaurants, bars and taxis you'd expect. We're 500 metres from the checkpoint to Jerusalem and a mile from the centre of Bethlehem. The official British Foreign Office advice declares it a safe place to visit - and like any holiday you should check the FCO website or equivalent before travelling.

Do I need a VISA?
You don't need a visa to enter Israel as a tourist and you can stay for up to 3 months. Visitors entering via Tel Aviv airport are given an entry card in their passport. So, unlike the locals, you'll be permitted to travel wherever you wish.

Airport security at Tel Aviv, however, is legendary. Expect to be asked about the purpose of your stay and if you intend travelling to the West Bank. If you answer 'yes' you may be held up for some time, consequently many visitors choose not to highlight that particular part of their holiday.

How long will it be open for ?
We're aiming to be here for the whole of the centenary year, maybe longer if people come.

Centenary year ?
2017 marks a hundred years since the British took control of Palestine and helped kick start a Century of confusion and conflict. At the time of writing there are no special events being planned to mark the occasion.

Is it anti-Semitic ?
Definitely not. The Walled Off Hotel is an entirely independent leisure facility set up and financed by Banksy. It is not aligned to any political movement or pressure group. The aim is to tell the story of the wall from every side and give visitors the opportunity to discover it for themselves. We offer an especially warm welcome to young Israelis. Absolutely no fanaticism is permitted on the premises.


OPEN FROM MARCH 11th

Britain got its hands on Palestine in 1917 and the piano bar is themed as a colonial outpost from those heady days.

It is equipped with languid ceiling fans, leather bound couches and an air of undeserved authority.

Guests can peruse a collection of Banksy artworks that include vandalised oil paintings and statues choking on tear gas fumes.

Warm scones and freshly brewed tea are served daily on fine bone china and the Walled Off Salad should not be missed.

Would lurve to cook there Jon Hole
