• It’s that time of year again when we at Wahaca call up our favourite face painters, bands and artists to celebrate Mexico’s most popular fiesta, the Day of the Dead. This annual holiday encompasses a day for adults on 1 November and a family day on the second, giving people the opportunity to remember deceased relatives and to celebrate the lives of those they respect or admire. In Mexico, it is basically an excuse to party, and great feasts are prepared to share with friends and family, taking place either at the graveyards of the relatives being remembered, or at home, in front of homemade altars decorated with sugar skulls and marigolds, poems and photographs. The idea is that the souls of the departed will find the smells and sights of the mouth-watering dishes and spirits so tempting that they will come back to Earth for two days, to hang out and be together once more .

    It’s possibly our favourite time of year, and we’re celebrating this year in the Vaults, below London’s Waterloo station, with all profits being donated to funds to support the victims of last month’s earthquake.

    Whether you celebrate this spiritual and moving celebration, or Halloween, a comforting, restorative plate of baked Mexican eggs should put a bit of vim back into your step the next day.

    Serve with tortillas or crusty bread to mop up those glorious juices.

     

    Aztec baked eggs

     

    This incredibly simple dish uses classic Mexican spices, cinnamon and allspice to give it the deep, warming flavours that I associate with much of this country’s food. Serves two to four clinique vitamin c .

    2 red peppers, halved and deseeded
    7 vine tomatoes, halved
    1 red chilli
    1 tsp coriander seeds, crushed
    1 tsp ground allspice
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    6 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
    Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1 onion, peeled and sliced
    4 eggs
    1 large handful coriander leaves, roughly chopped
    Warm tortillas (or fresh crusty bread)
    1 small pot soured cream (optional)

    Heat the grill to high and line a large oven tray with foil. Put the pepper and tomato halves cut-side up on the tray, add the chilli and spices, then drizzle over two tablespoons of the oil, a sprinkling of salt and a good grind of pepper. Grill on a high heat for 30 minutes, turning the pepper halves once, until everything is well blackened – you need a proper char.

    Put the pepper halves and chilli in a bowl, cover with clingfilm and leave to sweat. Put the tomatoes to one side to cool. Remove the skin and stem from the peppers, and put them in a food processor with the chilli (if you prefer things less spicy, deseed it first) and any juices in the bowl. Add the tomatoes and two tablespoons of oil, then blitz to a smooth puree. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and, if need be, a pinch of brown sugar to help the tomatoes along.

    Heat a large frying pan for which you have a lid on a medium-high flame, then add the remaining two tablespoons of oil and the onion. Season, then sweat, stirring from time to time, for 10 minutes, until softened but not coloured. Stir in the pepper and tomato sauce, then crack the eggs into the pan, making sure they’re spaced well apart. When the whites start to turn opaque around the edges, cover the pan and leave to simmer for 10-12 minutes, until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny. Season to taste, scatter coriander on top and serve with tortillas and dollops of soured cream.

     

    And for the rest of the week&hellip clinique fresh pressed ;

     

    The combination of coriander seed, cinnamon and allspice is intoxicating. Bash all three together with olive oil, a few cloves of garlic and the zest and juice of a lemon, rub this mix all over a chicken and/or tray of root vegetables (parsnips and carrots are a family favourite), then roast in a hot oven until golden and caramelised. All you need alongside is some yoghurt, fresh herbs and a bowl of steamed rice.

  • According to "guangzhou daily", ray, and at the university of Bern in Switzerland and zack and others against the 1.5 million survey found that people who live in more than 8 floor, the probability of early death than people living in the lower 22% lower.

    People live on a few floors longer

    Among them, the chance of dying from lung disease is 40 percent lower and the risk of dying from a severe heart attack is 35 percent lower.

    The researchers believe that people who live in high-rise homes are more likely to walk up and down the stairs than those who live in the lower levels, thus exercising more and thus far away from heart disease.

    According to expert research: "climbing stairs can extend life for 4 seconds."Climbing the stairs is a free and effective workout, with a typical speed of 220 calories per 10 minutes, four times better than walking.

    Climb the stairs to protect the heart!

    Climbing the building itself is a good aerobic exercise, it is high strength, can exercise cardiopulmonary function and lower limb muscle, the prevention and control of cardiovascular disease also has certain benefits.

    Professor hu freshman, a famous cardiovascular expert, also said that in order to prevent the cerebral blood vessels from ossification, the middle-aged and old people need to exercise more, and in various ways of exercise, they have specifically mentioned how to climb the stairs.And wherever there are stairs, as long as the floors are not very high, he always chooses to climb the stairs.

    At every meeting of the American heart association, there is a sign at the top of the stairs that tells the doctor: "don't take the elevator, take the stairs."

    Can you climb the stairs to your knees?

    Climbing the stairs is a good sport, from the point of view of protecting the heart.

    But that doesn't mean that the stairs cadbury, and because in the process of the stairs, the weight of the burden of the knee will instantly increase to a common 4 times the left and right sides, 60 kg climbing upstairs, knee weight up to 240 kg!

    The climbing floor will accelerate the wear and tear of the knee joint, causing knee joint pain, which can lead to knee arthritis, degenerative arthritis and other joint diseases.The same goes for the stairs.

    What?Is that still possible?

    Note that this is not to say that you can't climb the stairs to exercise!

    Experts say people with joint health must pay attention to quantity and method.

    Take 2~3 layers at a time.

    During the course of boarding, you can use your hand to drag the railing or wall to relieve the pressure on your joints.

  • With all its failings, the East India Company still remains in history as the most amazingly powerful trading concern which the world has ever seen. Like many other big propositions it began in a small way: but it acquired for us that vast continent which is the envy of all the great powers of the world to-day. And it is important and necessary to remember always that we owe this in the first place to the consummate courage, patience, skill and long-suffering of that race of beings, the intrepid seamen, who have never yet received their due from the landsmen whom they have made rich and comfortable .

    Among the Harleian MSS. there is a delightful2 phrase written by a seventeenth-century writer, in which, treating of matters that are not immediately concerned with the present subject, he remarks very quaintly that the first article of an Englishman’s Politicall Creed must be that he believeth in ye Sea etc. Without that there needeth no general Council to pronounce him uncapable of Salvation.” This somewhat sweeping statement none the less aptly sums up the whole matter of our colonisation and overseas development. The entire glamour of the Elizabethan period, marked as it unfortunately is with many deplorable errors, is derived from the sea. With the appreciation of what could be attained by a combination of stout ships, sturdy seamen, navigation, seamanship, gunnery and high hopes that refused persistently to be daunted, the most farsighted began to see that success was for them. Honours, wealth, the founding of families that should treasure their names in future generations, the acquisition of fine estates and the building of large houses with luxuries that exceeded the Tudor pattern—these were the pictures which were conjured up in the imaginations of those who vested their fortunes and often their lives in these ocean voyages. The call of the sea had in England fallen mostly on deaf ears until the late sixteenth century. It is only because there were some who listened to it, obeyed, and presently led others to do as they had done, that the British Empire has been built up at all groom suit rental .

    Our task, however, is to treat of one particular way in which that call has influenced the minds and activities of men. We are to see how that, if it summoned some across the Atlantic to the Spanish3 Main, it sent others out to the Orient, yet always with the same object of acquiring wealth, establishing trade with strange peoples, and incidentally affording a fine opportunity for those of an adventurous spirit who were unable any longer to endure the cramped and confined limitations of the neighbourhood in which they had been born and bred. And though, as we proceed with our story, we shall be compelled to watch the gradual growth and the vicissitudes of the East Indian companies, yet our object is to obtain a clear knowledge not so much of the latter as of the ships which they employed, the manner in which they were built, sailed, navigated and fought. When we speak of the Old East Indiamen” we mean of course the ships which used to carry the trade between India and Europe. And inasmuch as this trade was, till well on into the nineteenth century, the valuable and exclusive monopoly of the East India Company, carefully guarded against any interlopers, our consideration is practically that of the Company’s ships. After the Company lost their monopoly to India, their ships still possessed the monopoly of trading with China until the year 1833. After that date the Company sold the last of their fleet which had made them famous as a great commercial and political concern. In their place a number of new private firms sprang up, who bought the old ships from the East India Company, and even built new ones for the trade. These were very fine craft and acted as links between England and the East for a few years longer, reaching their greatest success between the years 1850 and 1870. But the opening of the Suez Canal and the enterprise of steamships sealed their fate, so that4 instead of the wealth which was obtained during those few years by carrying cargoes of rich merchandise between the East and the West, and transporting army officers, troops and private passengers, there was little or no money to be made by going round the Cape. Thus the last of the Indiamen sailing ships passed away—became coal-hulks, were broken up; or, changing their name and nationality, sailed under a Scandinavian flag.

    The East India Company rose from being a private venture of a few enterprising merchants to become a gigantic corporation of immense political power, with its own governors, its own cavalry, artillery and infantry, its own navy, and yet with its trade-monopoly and its unsurpassed regular service” of merchantmen. The latter were the largest, the best built, and the most powerfully armed vessels in the world, with the exception only of some warships. They were, so to speak, the crack liners of the day, but they were a great deal more besides. Their officers were the finest navigators afloat, their seamen were at times as able as any of the crews in the Royal Navy, and in time of war the Government showed how much it coveted them by impressing them into its service, to the great chagrin and inconvenience of the East India Company, as we shall see later on in our story .

  • 最後水幹涸而亡,金魚的淚水在森林裏面化作了“淚泉”。
    都說歲月是壹艘急於行駛的列車,身在其中的我們還沒來得及體悟周邊的風景,卻匆匆走過。即使是在我的人生中,我也曾是這麼的認為過,直到後來我的生命中有過這洋壹個人的出現,才發現有時候時間會在某個人身上停留,成為永恒。有這麼壹刻不管經歷多久,相距多遠,都是這壹生難以久久忘懷。

    這壹年,我拿著本市壹中的錄取通知書來到了我壹直所期望的高中,在這裏將開始我的另壹個三年。

    在這裏,壹切都仿佛都是在不斷重復,報道,拿書,聽著老師在講堂上趾高氣昂的發表者本學期的目標。可能是聽的太多了,對這些都不以為然。只是自己獨自的凝望著窗外那逐漸逝去的夏日。

    整日如同壹日三餐般的生活,是那麼的規律協調,而此時看上去學習似乎是我唯壹打發時間的樂趣。因為我是不喜歡和別人鉤通的,致使起初的沈默讓後來的我都感到詫異。在我的記憶裏面,我自己也不清楚我是怎麼度過這段平靜的高壹生活。大概是後來的瘋狂讓我忘記了我曾經有過這麼壹段安靜的回憶。

    高中的第二年,本以為我的生活會壹直平淡下去,而我也只要專心的照顧好自己的學業,向著自己理想的大學奮鬥。卻不曾想,壹個意外的插班生,忽然就闖進了我的世界,連壹聲招呼都不打。

    他叫韓雲,壹個總喜歡自以為是的人,無賴壹般的強詞奪理。但是後來,也就是這個人為我打開了壹片新的世界,而原本該是壹個平淡的高中也因他而跳動起來。

    “大家靜壹靜,接下來為大家介紹壹個壹個剛轉來的新同學,大家歡迎。”六續的掌聲淹沒了班主任那厚重的話語,大家都滿臉好奇的看著眼前這位秀氣的男同學。

    “大家好,我叫韓雲,從C市剛轉過來,請大家多多關照。”他看上去就讓人感覺到輕松,清亮的話語讓大家對於眼前的這個男孩瞬間有了新的認識。

    “餵,子研,妳看這個韓雲長得好帥,這下我們班可就要成為焦點了啊”室友兼同桌的於暖又在那犯花癡的,滿臉陶醉地向我說道。

    “哦,……”我輕聲應和道。

    “哎,子研,怎麼說妳也算是校花之壹,我怎麼感覺妳對帥哥免疫啊,真想知道將來誰能讓我們的樊大美女動凡心。”於暖看著漫不關心的我,調戲道。

    “妳要死啦,小妮子,我看是妳動了春心了吧。”我壹臉地慍怒說道。

    “哎,好啦好啦,我知道錯了,馬上要吃飯了我們吃飯去吧。”說完,於暖拉起我便向著食堂走去。

    這幾日仍向往常壹洋,只不過稍微留意了壹下這個剛才的韓雲。

    他很陽光,活躍,這洋的性格很快的就和班級裏的男生打成壹片。

      台灣媒體4月24日報導稱,體激光脫毛價錢重破百公斤的33歲林姓男子組成7人詐騙集團,通過大陸“世紀佳緣”交友網站,挑選已購房或收入不錯的女子為詐騙目標,並在網站上放入型男照片,開始與被害人每天通過QQ聯繫,經過一個月噓寒問暖的溫情攻勢,再開始以藉口辦簽證相親、假投資、借貸等理由詐騙,估計已經獲利上百萬。

      報導稱,台中市警四分局偵查隊1月接獲報案,西屯區一處大樓出入份子複雜,經判斷應為詐騙機房,但農曆年後不久即搬遷。經專案小組進行清查、跟蹤監視,日前發現詐騙集團落腳在北屯地區一處高級住宅大樓。警方當場抓獲嫌犯7人,查扣詐騙電腦、作案用手機、教戰手冊、大陸被害人個人資料、銀聯卡Laser 脫毛 、現金23萬元等贓證物帶案偵辦。

      經警方調查,詐騙集團以林姓男子為首負責招募,從交友網站尋找以結婚為前提的女子,除了可先得知有無財產外,還可以透過即時溝通聯繫騙取個人資料,不用擔心被官方鎖定又可節省費用。

      詐騙集團成員向警方供認稱,得手後可獲利總贓款15%當成個人詐騙所得。由於是鎖定職業女子進行詐騙,每天上班時間是早上11點到晚上11點,詐騙犯除了白天溫柔關懷外 ,待被害人下班後還要進行熱絡、曖昧、體貼的對話。
