Traveling Ministry

The theme of the August 2012 issue is “traveling.” This is an excerpt on traveling in the ministry from the new Friends Journal-published book, Quaker Process for Friends on the Benches. -Eds.

Throughout significant portions of Quaker history the traveling ministry has been the lifeblood of the Religious Society of Friends. Since the earliest days women and men have been called by God to travel to various places among the “world’s people” as well as among already established groups of Friends.
(Jonathan Vogel‐Borne, “Traveling in the Ministry”)

In many ways, early Friends’ travels were similar to Paul and other apostles’ travels during the first century: to proclaim the Gospel and to return to fledgling groups to provide support and correction. In a short paper written in 1987 on the history and practice of traveling in the ministry, Jonathan Vogel‐Borne wrote:

In succeeding generations, as our religious society became settled … and as we became more geographically dispersed, the traveling ministry helped to provide needed communication between the various groups of Friends.… Traveling ministers were certified and trusted outsiders to the meeting’s “politics.” In this capacity they could be of enormous service to the community. Their ability to discern the spiritual health of the meeting, their mediating influence to reconcile differences, and their liberty to speak out on potentially difficult issues both spiritual and temporal were often very helpful to Friends.

During the [1900s], the formal practice of travel in the ministry among Friends had virtually ceased. In the unprogrammed tradition … it is thought that no one’s gifts in the ministry should be recognized over and above the gifts of others. Along with the advent of modern communication … formal travel in the ministry had all but fallen to disuse.

Recently, there seems to be a revival of the traveling ministry.…

(Jonathan Vogel‐Borne, “Traveling in the Ministry”)

FGC’s Traveling Ministries Program, established in 1998, has had a tremendous impact among unprogrammed Friends. It matches up seasoned Friends’ gifts with the needs of local and yearly meetings. The program has engaged in the work of naming, nurturing, and holding traveling Friends accountable. It has explored and re‐energized the roles of Friends engaged in ministry to other Friends and the role of traveling companions to hold the ministry in prayer and to accompany the ministering Friend. This role is variously described as a traveling companion, an elder, or a companion in ministry.

In his paper, Jonathan Vogel‐Borne suggests,

In order for Friends in the home meetings to share more fully in the Spiritual enrichment of the traveling ministry, occasions may be arranged for traveling Friends to speak about their sojourns shortly following their return. The home monthly, quarterly, and yearly meetings will formally receive the returning travel minute at a business session following the return of the traveling Friend. This is an occasion where the endorsements on the travel minute might be read and the Friend would have a further opportunity to share about his or her visit.
(Jonathan Vogel‐Borne, “Traveling in the Ministry”)

Travel Minutes, Minutes of Religious Service, and Letters of Introduction

A distinction needs to be made between letters of introduction, travel minutes, and minutes of religious service.

Travel Minutes

Travel minutes (or “traveling minutes”) are issued to Friends who have worked with their monthly meeting to discern a clear leading to travel and visit other Friends. They may have a specific concern, they may have been asked to visit a meeting for a specific purpose, or it may be that God has moved them to worship with those Friends and to be with them. The Friend who is led to travel lays it before his or her monthly meeting along with the whole nature of the proposed visits as far as can be foreseen. If the monthly meeting unites with the concern or affirms the leading, it writes a minute to that effect and gives the Friend a copy. A travel minute should describe any specific concern the bearer is laboring under. When a meeting comes to unity with a member’s concern to travel, it should make sure that finances do not stand in the way by being ready to contribute toward the expenses incurred.
When visits are to be made outside the quarterly meeting (if any), the minute is sent to the quarter for its discernment and endorsement as well. When visits are to be made outside the yearly meeting, the minute is also sent to the yearly meeting for its discernment and endorsement.

Such a traveling minute affirms that the individual is a Friend in good standing and travels with the blessing of his or her local community. This is reassuring to the meetings visited as well as a real support to the minister. The normal expectation is that such a minute is for a specified time, that the clerk of each meeting visited will sign the letter, including a note about the visit, and that on returning home the Public Friend will bring the minute back to the business meeting and report on the travels.

(Margery Post Abbott and Peggy Senger Parsons, Walk Worthy of Your Calling, p. 278)

It is customary, where practicable, for traveling Friends to be welcomed into the homes of those whom they visit. This has the double advantage of saving expense to the traveler and of extending more intimately the benefit of the visit.

While visiting, the carrier of a travel minute presents it to the clerk of the body visited, who reads it aloud as a way of introducing the traveling Friend. (Only the travel minute, not endorsements, should be read.) At the end of the visit, the clerk writes and signs a brief note about the visit. This is called an endorsement. (See Sample Forms, Letters, Etc. for some examples.) Endorsements may be written on the back of the page or on additional pages attached to the letter.

When the proposed visits are completed, the traveling Friend should return the minute and all the endorsements to the body that issued it. The body may ask the traveling Friend to report on his or her experiences as well.

A travel minute represents an activity with a specific form: leaving, traveling under a concern, and returning to report on the completed event. For an ongoing ministry, another form of support, such as a minute of religious service, may be more appropriate.

Companions in Ministry

Since the earliest times, Friends traveling with a concern usually had a companion who could provide both practical and spiritual support. This practice is currently being revived, largely through the influence of FGC’s Traveling Ministries Program. Friends who lead workshops and retreats or who travel with other leadings have found that having a companion in the ministry is of considerable spiritual and practical support. The companion prays for the minister as well as those ministered to, being attentive to how the Spirit is moving. The companion helps the minister to deepen his or her faithfulness. It is good practice to provide companions with traveling minutes that describe their supporting role.

Minutes of Religious Service

A minute of religious service is more broad than a travel minute and can include any kind of service. It embodies a meeting’s recognition of a call to a religious service in someone’s life.

In recent times Friends monthly meetings within the Friends General Conference have generally moved away from the practice of recording ministers, but have continued to value the practice of issuing minutes of religious service for individual Friends who are traveling in support of an important cause or to nurture the religious life of Friends, meetings, or other groups. During at least the past 30 years this practice has been extended by some Friends meetings to include the recognition of ministries which might or might not involve travel, but which are also intended to support important causes or to nurture religious life either within or outside the Society of Friends. For the past ten years Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting has been engaged in this practice, and as we have found it to be a valued practice, this document is intended to set forth guidelines to encourage and regularize the process for the future.

(“Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Recognizing and Supporting Ministries,” approved November, 2004, Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting, p. 2)

Chestnut Hill Friends suggest that a minute of religious service contain the following components:

  • Name the work as explicitly as possible.
  • Affirm that the meeting experiences the person as led to do the work; perhaps include how the person’s life and spiritual path have led to this work at this time.
  • Name the meeting’s unity with the work, perhaps making reference to Friends testimonies.
  • Name the meeting’s specific commitments to supporting this person and his or her work, including the appointment of an oversight committee.
  • Ask the reader for his or her support.
  • Give the approval date and an appropriate expiration date, with the signature of the clerk of the meeting. The expiration date may vary considerably, depending on the nature of the call.

Letters of Introduction

Where visiting among Friends is merely incidental to travel for some other purpose, a monthly meeting may issue a letter of introduction for a member in good standing. Such a letter requires no further endorsement. Quarterly or yearly meetings may originate similar letters as occasion warrants.

(New York Yearly Meeting Faith and Practice, p. 129)

When members of a meeting plan to travel and wish to make contact with other Friends, they may ask the clerk of their home meeting or the yearly meeting for a letter of introduction. The letter may also convey greetings from the meeting. There are no obligations for financial support, hospitality, or reporting back to the home group. The clerk can issue a letter of introduction on his or her own authority; no consultation or approval is necessary.

One Response to Traveling Ministry

  1. Shima Gyoh July 27, 2012 at 6:55 pm #

    The Travelling Ministry would be of enormous benefit to the new worship groups in the developing world groups trying to learn about Quakerism and experimenting in living the faith or should I say, the discipline. We in Nigeria have adopted the unprogrammed school. This has posed a bit of a problem as to how we can grow more quickly. By inviting acquaintances to attend speeches given by visiting Friends, it might be easier to start the contacts that might be useful for those seeking for a new spiritual home. Most of all, we are really isolated Friends and would value such visits in many ways.

Artist Guillermo Tapia is undergoing a transformation. Outwardly, he buzzed his hair: One less distraction, he told me recently at HopFusion Ale Works. Inwardly, he’s pushing himself both as a community leader and painter. The founder of the soon-to-be nonprofit ArtLuck has allowed his arts group to grow organically. A handful of prominent locals have expressed interest in joining ArtLuck’s board. Before we delved into discussions over Fort Worth’s growing arts community, we tossed back glasses of Feisty Blonde and Fur Slipper.

Feisty Blonde is “sweet, citrusy, and refreshing with really good floral notes,” he said. Tapia picked HopFusion for our interview. He said he loves the Near Southside brewery’s “wide variety” of beers.

(Brewery update: HopFusion co-owner/co-founder Macy Moore told me that night that he is looking into switching to a brewpub license that will allow HopFusion to sell beer to-go.)

“They really play with the formulas,” he said. “They come out with something that people like then push it to the next level.”

Tapia admits that he used to be “more into beer” than he is at the moment. He’s more likely to spring for a glass of wine these days. Several years ago, he developed a love for stouts, though. He was a fan of the Fur Slipper that evening. HopFusion’s Coco Anejo, he said, tastes like a Mexican coconut paleta (popsicle).

Fort Worth artists are at a unique crossroads, he said as our discussion turned toward culture. There have been waves of artist collectives in the past. The difference now, he added, is that newer groups like Art Room, Art Tooth, and Latino Hustle have reached a critical mass that allows them to effect lasting change. Tapia sees his group as a resource for younger artists.

“You are a  business,” he tells them. “If you do want to run your own business and be your own artists, you can. That’s one of the reasons I quit my dayjob. I can create my own path now. You can make something out of nothing. People will buy it.”

Tapia’s home off Race Street in the Riverside District has been “up and coming” for several years now. The slow but steady growth, he said, allows creatives such as himself to influence development in a positive way. Many local businesses, including Rawsome, have been supportive of ArtLuck’s mission.

Tapia sees a bright future for local artists.

“That’s what’s exciting about it,” he said. “We’re at the beginning of something. Fort Worth is not small anymore.”

Tuning In Two

20111 hr, 18 mins

Tuning In Two, the much anticipated sequel to Tuning In, offers fresh and profound information from seven new channelers and their non-physical friends. As with the first movie, each channeled entity was interviewed on a variety of subjects from romantic love to law of attraction to self-empowerment.

Channeling is a practice dating back to antiquity whereby a person, usually in a trance state, makes a psychic connection with a spirit being. The human, in a sense, steps aside and allows the entity to bring forth messages. This is happening with more and more frequency around the planet as wise beings help us navigate this transitional period we’ve entered – what some have termed the “Great Shift.”

Great Weather, Great Moths - Part 2

Article text
My last update detailed some of the superb moths found on camping trips to County Donegal during the fabulous weather this part of the world experienced in May and early June 2018. Sites closer to home did not disappoint either with species being found in new areas, redrawing distribution maps and improving the understanding of some of our rarest species of moths.

Starting with the smallest and biggest species I found the Thyme Pug (Eupithecia distinctaria) had less than 100 records up to the end of 2015 and none in North Antrim, so it was great to find one on the local cliffs, unsurprisingly near a large area of wild Thyme. Click on the images below to enlarge and see more details.

Thyme Pug

The Eyed Hawkmoth (Smerinthus ocellatis) is widespread across Ireland, but apparently scarce in the north, so getting three near Garry Bog, to go with one there last year, which changes our knowledge of it's distribution in Ireland a little.

Eyed Hawkmoth

Another two species new to Garry Bog were the scarce Miller (Acronicta leporina) and the even rarer Light Knot Grass (Acronicta menyanthidis) with less than 40 records for the whole of Ireland up to 2015.

The Miller
Light Knot Grass

A quick family trip over to Magilligan, Co L/derry, in the hope of seeing Small Eggar as a caterpillar, after failing to see the adult in the early spring, didn't disappointed with six webs of larva found on their food plant Blackthorn. This species has suffered greatly as a result of recent changes in agricultural practice as well as increased use of pesticides and unnecessary cutting of natural hedgerows. It is now confined to a handful of small colonies in Ireland.

Small Eggar Moth

Breen Wood is a regular site for me to check for moths, and it was nice to find and photograph an Alder Moth this far north. It was this ancient woodland that was to provide the biggest surprise so far of 2018, but I will keep that one for the next post.

Braydan DuRee

Senior Geotechnical Engineer

GeoEngineers allows everyone to have a voice within the firm, which generates a lot of innovative ideas.

  • 2006, 2015

  • Boise, ID

During college, Braydan discovered that he loved the combination of technical analysis and field work involved in geotechnical engineering. “My mind was set after my first project as a summer intern with GeoEngineers, where I observed a soil nail wall being constructed in downtown Bellevue.”

As a project manager in GeoEngineers’ geotechnical group. Braydan plans, coordinates and leads geotechnical exploration programs to characterize subsurface soil and groundwater conditions. He completes detailed geotechnical analyses and reports the team’s findings in geotechnical reports to support owners, architects, structural and civil engineers, and contractors working on the projects.

Braydan’s passion is working on large civil design-build projects. “The complexity of design-build projects keeps me on my toes with very demanding schedules and performance expectations,” he says, pointing to the SR 530 Oso Landslide design-build projects as an example.

“Our team designed and rebuilt the highway in record time after the Oso Landslide devastated the surrounding communities” Braydan says. “The designers, contractor and WSDOT worked efficiently together to successfully complete the project which helped the surrounding communities begin to heal.”

When he’s not at work, Braydan values spending time with his family and working at home on his hobby farm growing hay and raising animals.

“Working on the farm with my family gives me time each day to unwind which helps me to be a more focused engineer,” Braydan says.

He also gives time to volunteering at his church and with the Boy Scouts of America. Braydan enjoys hiking, backpacking, and alpine climbing and has climbed Mount Baker and Mount Rainier multiple times.

Senior Resources

Senior resources. Compare Medicare supplemental insurance rates from major Georgia insurance companies. Affordable Medigap plans from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Omaha and more. Medicare 101

Medigap coverage is designed to pay your medical bills that are not covered by traditional Medicare. All Medigap plans are standardized and are required by law to pay medical bills approved by Medicare.

Rates for Medigap plans can vary widely in your area, in some cases by as much as $60 per month, sometimes more. We help seniors on a fixed income find the lowest priced Medicare supplemental insurance for their money.

How Does Medicare Work?

Medicare is divided into 4 parts with two primary parts (A and B) being the ones most people will use. Medicare Part A covers your hospital bills while Part B is for doctor bills.

Medicare Part C is commonly referred to Medicare Advantage is combines the benefits of parts A and B and sometimes D under one policy. Unlike Medicare A and B, Medicare Advantage plans are offered through private insurance companies. Those who elect a part C (Medicare Advantage) plan are taken off Medicare and covered by private insurance.

Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs and is a separate plan purchased through private insurance companies.

Do I Need a Medicare Supplement Plan?

Georgia Medicare supplement insurance and Medigap insurance plans are offered by private insurance companies.  These plans pay what Medicare does not pay. Without a Medigap plan you could owe thousands of dollars to your doctor and hospital.

Have questions? Visit our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section for a run down on commonly asked questions about Medicare and Medicare supplement plans.

A couple from Bracknell who ran a high-class chauffeuring service have been jailed for more than three years between them for VAT fraud.

Tracey and Allan Bradshaw, both of Old Farm Drive, Bullbrook, ran four businesses including Business Drive Ltd, providing car services for a variety of UK film studios.

The 50-year-old woman was sentenced to two years and four months in prison for her part in the fraud while her 49-year-old husband was handed a 40 week jail term suspended for 18 months.

He was also ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work when the couple appeared at Reading Crown Court on Friday, December 18.

The pair were found to have failed to pay HMRC almost £31,000 in VAT they had charged their clients. They also submitted fraudulent VAT repayment claims of nearly £179,000 but were caught out when officers grew suspicious and began to look into their business records.

Allan David Bradshaw, 49 of Old Farm Drive, Bracknell was sentenced to 40 weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months. He was also ordered to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work.

HMRC discovered the pair had also created fake invoices for leasing vehicles and general purchases including a giant water tank.

Anthony Swarbrick, assistant director of the HMRC's fraud investigation service, said: "The Bradshaws were business people driven by greed.

"They deliberately attempted to pocket almost £210,000 of taxpayers’ money and this case sends out a clear message to those who might be involved in this type of fraud: if you steal public money from honest, law-abiding people, you will face prosecution and pay the price for your criminal activities.

"We encourage anyone with information regarding suspected tax fraud to contact the Customs Hotline on 0800 59 5000."

HMRC officers arrested the couple at their home on December 18, 2013 where they discovered the false documentation.

Both admitted fraudulent evasion of VAT and were sentenced at Reading Crown Court. Confiscation proceedings are now in place to reclaim any financial gain the Bradshaws obtained from committing this crime.

The decision to close a mental-health therapy centre in West Reading at the end of November has caused anger among its users.

The Winterbourne House centre in Argyle Road, which is run by Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, provides therapy courses for those who deal with mental-health issues. Patients have been offered alternative therapy elsewhere, but not for the same amount of time on weekly basis.

Here are some of the views from the patients who attend sessions at the centre about how the centre has helped them.

Emma Lewis - "It saved my life"

"Before I was referred to the therapeutic community my life was unlivable.

"I lived in hell everyday, suffering from BPD and chronic low self esteem, unable to go out my home and socialise.

"I was addicted to codeine and other prescription drugs and binge drinking.

"I hated who I was and I couldn't cope with life. My children suffered emotionally and I was unable to give them the emotional care they deserved - like every child deserves.

"Even writing this now I feel so sad, so angry that millions of children grow up suffering and ending up with severe mental health problems and I am so so incredibly lucky to have been given the chance to change my whole life around for myself and especially my three children.

"The 18-month therapeutic community is the most intensive therapy you can get. It saves lives and I believe it saved mine.

"I have confidence for once in my life and I no longer have to use my coping mechanisms to get through life anymore.

Emma Lewis

"I feel free and able to go out into the world and achieve when I leave I want to be a support worker for people that suffer from drug addictions and alcohol abuse.

"I believe not only did this therapy give me a new life it gave me the skills to help others."

Sarah Borthwick - "It's a sub-culture"

"Winterbourne therapeutic community has been running for decades, one of many across the country. It came under threat in 2002 and was fought for and now sadly it would seem the battle has been lost.

"It teaches to maintain ourselves on a basic level as well as manage our emotions and deal with the paths that have brought people there individually.

"An alternative has been offered but it is a far cry from what is in place now.

"It's a few hours a week and without the same things in place that help people not to harm, overdose, or act out in ways harmful to themselves or the public.

Users outside Winterbourne House in West Reading

"Funding and cutbacks are always an argument. One that can be unarguable.

"However, it's conflicting with the bigger financial issue. These members go on after 18 months to function and more often than not, lead lives fuller and healthier.

"Without this treatment many members will be likely to fall back into the justice system, how much is it to fund one person serving a custodial?

"Mental health does not discriminate. Yet at the moment these actions are only impacting on those most at risk and most vulnerable."

"Being a part of Winterbourne therapeutic community was a life line.

"I started the process unable to sustain healthy and fulfilling relationships which impacted every aspect of my life, it affected my professional life, my social life and my personal life to the point of complete despair.

"I lost sight of a future and felt cast out into the darkness, suicide often felt like my only way out.

"TC was a light in the distance that offered me another option, hope. It offered me the chance to be apart of something, it was a place where I was understood and all of me was excepted and embraced.

"Group therapy is a gift. The gift for me was the challenge of being in relationship with the community members.

Winterbourne House

"The painful and destructive dynamics that had brought me to TC played out within the community, thus giving me the opportunity to understand the cause and effect and the option to do something different.

"The option to make change.

"Being a part of the community not only helped me to understand myself but it gave me understanding of others, which in turn offered me the experience of a healthy relationship.

"Group therapy is a gift"

"Mental health affects us all. It could be you, it could be your partner, your child, a family member or friend. Saving this community could mean you save them in the future.

"The therapeutic community saved my life. I have seen it save others. To see the service cut is devastating.

"I was lucky enough to complete my treatment, but my peers and so many others won't."

Cathy Saunders, a spokeswoman for the Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, said it had conducted a review of the site and deemed it unsuitable.

She said: "With these findings, and in support of delivering our services in a safe and comfortable environment, we have made the decision to close it.

"A small group of patients who regularly meet here will be moved to an intensive outpatient service close to the Winterbourne site.

"All our other patients receiving weekly therapy will continue to access this treatment from a choice of locations within Reading and our Berkshire-wide community venues, with no disruption to their care.

"There have been no cuts to our service and the numbers of patients seen will remain the same."

Two men from west London have been given life sentences behind bars after stabbing a guard and threatening another with a gun while committing two armed robberies within four weeks.

Scott Berridge, 41, of St Clements Close, West Drayton and Anwar Shah, 51, of no fixed abode were sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court on Friday August 24 to life imprisonment.

Pictures of the pair who pleaded guilty to their charges have been released by police following a joint operation between Metropolitan Police and Thames Valley Police to catch the robbers.

Berridge and Shah who were already on life licenses for previous robberies committed the two armed sieges outside Nationwide banks within just four weeks.

Scott Berridge from West Drayton will spend the rest of his life behind bars

The pair ran off with a box of cash while it was being delivered outside of a bank in Buckingham earlier this year.

During the robbery, Berridge, who was wearing a balaclava, pointed a firearm at a guard's face however fortunately, no gunshots were fired, the Met confirmed.

Berridge was convicted of possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence following a two-day trial at the same court.

He also pleaded guilty to armed robbery and attempted armed robbery at an earlier hearing.

Meanwhile Shah pleaded guilty to wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and armed robbery.

Shah stabbed a guard during an attempted armed robber in West Drayton

Thames Valley Police officers were called to a Nationwide bank in Chesham's high street, Buckinghamshire on January 3 following reports of an armed robbery.

According to the force, a staff member was returning to his van with a box of cash after picking it up from the bank.

A masked Berridge approached the guard and pointed a gun at him before ordering him to drop the box and fleeing to a vehicle Shah had parked nearby.

Fortunately, no shots were fired during the robbery and the guard was not injured.

A joint operation with Metropolitan Police's Flying Squad - called Op Nano was launched to catch the pair.

Little more than one month later the pair attempted to rob another Nationwide bank - this time in the high street of Berridge's hometown of West Drayton.

Officers were already monitoring the pair after their first crime and arrived quickly at the scene on February 5 and arrested the duo.

However during the struggle, Shah stabbed a a guard in his left forearm.

The pair failed to steal anything during their second siege and luckily the guard has made a full recovery after suffering a hand injury.

Berridge and Shah were also both on life licences after being released from prison for previous armed robberies.

"I am incredibly proud of the work of my officers in identifying, monitoring, and eventually apprehending these incredibly violent offenders," said Detective Chief Inspector Scott Hartley, of the Met’s Flying Squad.

"Both Berridge and Shah have a history of committing violent, audacious robberies and show no regard for the welfare of anyone in the commission of their crimes.

"It is incredibly lucky that the guard injured in this incident was not more seriously injured.

"The imprisonment of these men should send a clear message to anyone considering on committing acts of violence, we will do everything within our power to identify and arrest you," he continued.

"This job would not have been possible without the support of Thames Valley Police, with whom we worked closely throughout the entire investigation.

"We are grateful for their support and efforts to bring these offenders to justice."

Cinnamon: a fundamental raw material for Tiki drinks | Giovanni Ceccarelli

Cinnamon: a fundamental raw material for Tiki drinks

cannella giovanni ceccarelli cocktail engineering cinnamon don's mix

Cinnamon is one of the most famous spices in the world and even in the world of mixing it is used quite a bit.

A few months ago I wrote an article for BarTales on cinnamon. If you’re interested in learning more, click here and read the article on page 72 (in Italian). If however, you’re interested in knowing how to use this spice when mixing, continue reading this article.

First of all, some general information.

Cinnamon is originally from Sri Lanka and is obtained by processing the inner bark of the Cinnamonum verum (or Cinnamonum zeylanicum) plant. It should not be confused with Cassia, a spice that is obtained from the Cinnamonum cassia plant.

Cinnamon is much more delicate and has a more complex aroma while cassia has a more intense but less complex aroma. The main aromatic component is called cinnamic aldehyde and accounts for roughly 70% of the aromatic components of these plants. The latter is slightly soluble in water. This means that homemade non-alcoholic preparations can be made but will have a short life.

Now let’s see what these preparations are.

Cinnamon can be used to make syrups, sodas, to aromatize spirits (homemade Pimento Dram) or to make a tincture (and, if distilled, a spirit). It’s great as a spicy part in a punch.

An explosive Jonathan!*

Really important preparations, however, belong to the Tiki drinks world where it is not only used as fuel for drinks!

A Donn’s Mix, in fact, is the combination of cinnamon syrup and yellow grapefruit juice, while a Gardenia Mix is a combination of butter, cinnamon syrup, vanilla syrup and pimento liquor (Pimenta dioica).

In a future article, I promise to explain how to prepare a Gardenia Mix. Now let’s see how to prepare a Donn’s Mix.

Break the cinnamon into small pieces in a mortar and make a quick decoction in water. Let it simmer for no more than 5 minutes and remember to use a lid. Then allow it to cool off, filter it, and add about 167gr of white sugar for every 100gr of cinnamon decoction. It doesn’t matter if you use white cane sugar or beet sugar, they’re the same thing. Once the sugar has melted, add fresh grapefruit juice. Gianni Zottola, the greatest Italian Tiki drink expert, recommends two parts grapefruit and one part cinnamon syrup. (Visit his blog, by clicking here)

Recipe for 300ml of a Donn’s Mix:
– 100ml homemade cinnamon syrup;
– 200ml yellow grapefruit juice.

This preparation must be consumed by the evening so as to ensure the highest possible quality. In fact, citrus juice oxidizes quickly. The syrup can be preserved for a maximum of 3 days, after which it will considerably lose its flavour.

To conclude, here’s a recipe with a Donn’s Mix.

Donga Punch (Don Beach, 1937)
– 5cl aged Martinique rum;
– 5cl Donn’s Mix;
– 2cl Fresh lime juice.

Pour the ingredients into a shaker, shake and filter into a cup. In the past it was shaken with crushed ice, probably to water down the rum. Personally, I prefer to shake it with ice cubes and serve it in a cup.

Happy mixing!

Moscow Mule: Recipe and Ingredients | Giovanni Ceccarelli

How to make a perfect Moscow Mule

Moscow mule giovanni ceccarelli cocktail engineering

Moscow Mule is a long drink based on vodka, ginger beer and lime juice, nowadays very popular. In this article, you’ll find the recipe and the preparation technique of this refreshing cocktail.

  • 5cl Vodka
  • 1.5cl juice of lime
  • 10cl Ginger beer *

  • Lime squeezer
  • Jigger
  • Barspoon
  • Glass or copper mug of 35 / 39cl

* Ginger beer is a ginger, non-alcoholic, spicy soda. The most common brands are Old Jamaica, Gosling’s, Fever tree, Thomas Henry and Schweppes.

In a tall tumbler (or a copper mug) full of ice, pour the vodka and lime juice. At this point, gently pour the ginger beer until you fill the glass (about 10cl). Mix gently and decorate with a lime peel or fresh mint

What can go wrong?
After reading the recipe and the directions, the question that arises spontaneously is: in a seemingly so simple cocktail, what is really the difference between a good or bad result?

Let’s try to understand it together.

First, the lime juice must be fresh, squeezed at the moment or, if not, stored in the fridge and used within a few hours.

You should also pay attention when you pour the ginger beer: it is necessary that the ice occupies all the glass volume and doesn’t start floating when pouring the soda. If this happens, we will have an unbalanced drink towards the non-alcoholic side (we poured too much ginger beer) and it will not be cold in a uniform manner.

The ginger beer must be cold (to limit the melting of ice) and must be poured not too far away from the glass, to avoid bumps that would lead to loss of carbonation (click here to deepen the soda topic).

cetriolo moscow mule cucumber cocktail engineeringCucumber or cucumber not, that’s the dilemma?
Regarding the cucumber issue, I don’t make it melodramatic. I am aware that in the original recipe, it is not contemplated but, let’s say the truth, the cucumber fits just fine in this drink that otherwise would have little personality.

Happy mixing,

Which Bad Romantic Habits Would You Like To Give Up?

Date last night with Seattle Girl. We went to a wacky Japanese restaurant where she quickly made friends with the waiter, which was not surprising given her bubbly personality. There wasn't really a spark, but I honestly enjoyed getting to know her and I'm not just saying that - I couldn't have asked for a better first Nerve date.

Onward: as my Catholic readers know, today marks the first day of Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and prayer that precedes Easter. It is traditional for believers to give up something, usually a guilty pleasure like sweets or TV. Well, after 13 years of Catholic school I know that organized religion isn't for me, but the occasion did get me thinking about some of my bad romantic tendencies. Who's up for some non-denominational self-improvement?

I've been taking girls to Jones, one of my favorite restaurants, ever since my first date with Angie. In my defense, their sweet potato fries are unbeatable.

This post could go on for days, but here are a few dating deficiencies I need to give up:

Negativity: While managing expectations is smart, I go into every date braced for the worst-case scenario. It's a defense mechanism that all too often turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Gotta work on that.

__My Comfort Zone:__There aren't a whole lot of surprises when it comes to a date with yours truly. We'll go out in Greenwich Village, the neighborhood I know best. The restaurant will likely serve Southern food and I'll order something with catfish. I'll tell you the story about breaking my host family's heirloom china when I was studying abroad in Madrid. As Emerson said, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. Hobgoblins are bad.

My Reserved Demeanor: The last three women I've gone out with have all commented on my calm facade, which is crazy because I'm actually a neurotic mess. I don't want to bust out the Woody Allen impersonation on a first date, but I clearly need to open up a bit.

Which bad romantic habits would you like to give up? And I'm not only asking those of us in the dating game - we all have room for improvement.

P.S. I totally got suckered into spreading this computer virus yesterday and had to send 500 of my closest friends an apology email. Uber-embarrassing. But guess who sent it to me? Erin and Beth! Moral of the story - watch out for internet hobgoblins.

A Paisley nursery has been targeted by firebugs for a second time, resulting in damage to the roof of the building.

Police have issued an appeal for help in tracing those responsible for the fireraising, which they believe could be youths targeting Hillview Nursery.

The Ferguslie Park facility was first hit last weekend, when outside toys were set alight. The second incident happened between July 4 and 5 (Wednesday and Thursday), when wooden itesm and tyres were set on fire within the grounds of the nursery - causing damage to the roof of the building.

Hillview Nursery in Ferguslie Park

Sergeant Stevie Airlie, community policing, said: “Apart from the financial impact on the nursery, this type of incident causes upset to the staff, parents and children alike. There is also a risk of fire spreading and causing significant damage and danger to residents.

“It appears those responsible may be youths, and therefore I would like to ask parents to be aware of their children’s whereabouts and activities, especially if they are out late in the evening.”

Anyone with info on either incident is asked to contact police on 101.

Collections  »  Aircraft  »  The Jenny

If any airplane can be singled out as having made the greatest over-all contribution to early aviation, it probably would the Curtiss JN-4. Although designed and built as a military trainer for American pilots during the First World War. The famous "Jenny" distinguished itself even more during the post-war years. It was the plane that introduced flying to the American public and popularized aviation. It was the "Model T Ford" of the air. The role the Jenny played in promoting aviation was a vital one, but it was mostly accidental. When the United States entered the war in 1917, the Army had but 55 obsolete training planes, only a handful of pilots and practically no effective training facilities. The plane designed to fill this need was the Curtiss JN-4 biplane.Curtiss Jenny - old

The JN-4 was an improved version of the earlier JN-2 which Glenn Curtiss first built in 1916. It was powered by the newly-designed Curtiss OX-5 V8 90 hp engine, and had a top speed of around 75 mph. It was a well-constructed plane with a dependable engine, but it was mostly wings and tended to be temperamental about landing. Many pilots jokingly commented that this made it a good trainer, because "If you can fly a Jenny, you can fly anything!"

On May 25th, 1917, the Joint Army and Navy Technical Aircraft Board met and recommended that 3,500 JN-4 training planes be purchased, and by the end of the war, over 2000 more than that number had been manufactured by Curtiss and other companies under government contract. It was the existence of this large number of Jennies that gave the plane its significant role in American aviation.

When the war ended, hundreds of Army-trained pilots returned home, determined to continue flying as civilians. But there were few commercially-built planes available, and none available at a price that most of the returning airmen could afford. But there were the Jennys - thousands of them, in fact, crammed into government warehouses and on flying fields. There were also thousands of extra OX-5 engines and spare parts. In 1919 these were declared surplus and offered for sale to private individuals. Thus, American general aviation began.Curtiss Jenny Painting

A complete Jenny, ready to fly, could be purchased for as little as $300; OX-5 engines for around $75. This made it easy for anyone to get into the flying business on a shoestring - and many did! They became private pilots for hire, established charter flying services, opened small airports and numerous one-man flying schools. But the biggest and most spectacular business of all was barnstorming, and hundreds of pilots became the "Gypsy Fliers" whose only saleable commodity was thrills and excitement.

Although the whole business was rather haphazard, if not downright menacing - the barnstormers performed an important function - they kept aviation in the public eye during the lean years following the war and in general, introduced the whole country to private and commercial flying. During the 1920s, the Jenny was most people's first contact with airplanes or flying, and it got thousands of them into the air and down again. Moreover, it was this type of flying and these pilots who created the need for more airports with better runways, plus rotating beacons for night navigation. Less intentionally, they also pointed up the need for better controls and regulations to make flying safer and more dependable.

From the ranks of the early Jenny pilots came the men who founded commercial aviation. Many went on to build themselves permanent hangars and offered charter service and flying instruction. Many others competed for government airmail contracts and went on to establish the first regularly scheduled air carrier routes - the same routes which were later flown by passenger airlines. Behind this chain of developments was the Jenny, which actually pioneered airmail services prior to 1920.

In the late1920s, the faithful Jenny gave way to a new crop of planes with better engines and engineering improvements that provided longer range, higher speeds and bigger payloads. But had it not been for the Jenny, there might not have been a market demand for improved planes, or many pilots to fly them, or passengers willing to take their feet off the ground.

The Acura MDX is the best-selling three-row luxury SUV of all time2 and has recently claimed AutoWeb’s 2018 Buyer’s Choice Award for the Luxury SUV category.

The 2018 MDX Sport Hybridshowcases Acura’s Precision Crafted Performance DNA with its 3.0-liter, i-VTEC V6 engine and three-motor Sport Hybrid Super Handling-All Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD®) system. With 321-peak horsepower3 and 289 lb.-ft. total peak torque on tap, the MDX Sport Hybrid is Acura’s most powerful production SUV ever built. And, despite turning out 30 additional horsepower and a 45 percent higher EPA city fuel economy rating as compared to the conventionally-powered MDX SH-AWD, the MDX Sport Hybrid carries a nominal premium of only $1,500 over the conventional MDX SH-AWD®.

Two feature-rich model grades are offered: MDX Sport Hybrid with Technology Package and the MDX Sport Hybrid with Advance Package. Both grades feature unique interior trim, stainless steel sport pedals and wood interior accents. Technology Package models include seating for seven, while the range-topping Advance Package features a 6-passenger interior with second-row captain’s chairs and a large second-row center console in place of a three-person bench seat.

Global Policy Forum

Picture Credit:

Over many centuries, human societies across the globe have established progressively closer contacts. Recently, the pace of global integration has dramatically increased. Unprecedented changes in communications, transportation, and computer technology have given the process new impetus and made the world more interdependent than ever. Multinational corporations manufacture products in many countries and sell to consumers around the world. Money, technology and raw materials move ever more swiftly across national borders. Along with products and finances, ideas and cultures circulate more freely. As a result, laws, economies, and social movements are forming at the international level.

This site considers not only the Globalization of the Economy but also the Globalization of Politics, of Culture and of Law. The globalized world sweeps away regulation and undermines local and national politics, just as the consolidation of the nation state swept away local economies, dialects, cultures and political forms. Globalization creates new markets and wealth, even as it causes widespread suffering, disorder, and unrest. It is both a source of repression and a catalyst for global movements of social justice and emancipation.  The great financial crisis of 2008-09 has revealed the dangers of an unstable, deregulated, global economy but it has also given rise to important global initiatives for change.

 Picture Credit:

The term globalization encompasses a range of social, political, and economic changes. Within the section Defining Globalization, we provide an introduction to the key debates. The materials ask what is new, what drives the process, how it changes politics, and how it affects global institutions like the UN.

Globalization expands and accelerates the exchange of ideas and commodities over vast distances. It is common to discuss the phenomenon in highly generalized terms, but globalization's impacts are often best understood at the local level. Cases of Globalization explore the various manifestations of interconnectedness in the world, noting how globalization affects real people and places.

Tables and Charts on Globalization provide data on the growing global interconnectedness and draw a statistical and graphic picture of Globalization.

Globalization often appears to be a force of nature, a phenomenon without bounds or alternatives. But peoples’ movements have shown that it is neither unalterable nor inevitable. Citizens all over the world—ordinary people from the global North and South—can work together to shape alternate futures, to build a globalization of cooperation, solidarity and respect for our common planetary environment.

New Orientation for ECA Foundation RMM Working Group

The ECA Foundation RMM Working Group was initially founded with the goal to help both authorities and industry get a better understanding of the requirements for the introduction of RMMs and to provide them with guidance. For that purpose it provided current information about the development, implementation and validation of RMM. To move forward to a harmonised thinking, it also initiated literature lists, best practice papers and guideline lists on its website. The group comprised of 11 representatives from the European pharmaceutical industry and the PEI also organised education courses and conferences on RMM and method validation and conducted survey among its members to submit comments to the regulatory authorities.

In the recent past members as well as authorities increasingly contacted the industry-wide well-known RMM Working Group with microbiological topics and questions beyond the scope it had originally defined for itself. Therefore, the ECA and the Group Advisory Board decided to rename it to "Pharmaceutical Microbiology Working Group" and to extend its scope and activities. It is now the Group's goal to concentrate on all relevant microbiological questions in the context of the development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and combination products. In particular it focuses on current issues like:

  • Writing guidance documents for subjects not covered by the authorities - through developing pharmaceutical microbiological best practices (e.g. guideline for deviation handling in non-sterile production facilities and bacterial endotoxin testing).
  • Providing information on successful growth media concepts
  • Promoting the standardisation for the submission of alternative microbiological methods and pushing the integration of certain RMM methods into the European Pharmacopoeia chapter 5.1.6.
  • Presenting an up-to-date website covering current problems and summarizing relevant publications for pharmaceutical microbiology
  • Organising education courses, conferences and trainings on relevant microbiological contents

The ECA Foundation's new Pharmaceutical Microbiology Working Group today counts close to 450 members and is led by Dr Sven Deutschmann, who also already headed the RMM Working Group. He has been with Roche Diagnostics since 1995 and is now Director of the Micro- and Cellbiology QC Department in the Pharma Division. He is also member of several national and international Pharmacopoeial Expert Groups. As member since the RMM Group's foundation back in June 2006 he was appointed as its third Chairman in 2008.

Further members of the Working Group's leadership team are:

  • Olivier Guenec, Sartorius, France
  • Barbara Gerten, Merck, Germany
  • Dr David Roesti, Novartis Pharma, Switzerland
  • Dr Ulrich Herber, Charles River, Germany
  • Dr Björn Breth, bioMérieux, Germany
  • Dr Marcel Goverde, MGP Consulting, Switzerland
  • Marja Claassen, MSD, The Netherlands

Moreover, two representatives from authorities support the Working Group in the ECA Foundation's Independent Authority Advisory Board (IAB):

  • Priv.-Doz. Dr Claudius Micha Nübling, World Health Organization (WHO), Geneva, Switzerland
  • Dr Isabelle Bekeredjian-Ding, Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (German Federal Institute for Vaccines and Biomedicines), Germany

Podcast with Ahmed Mansoor, the world’s most spied-on man

You have him to thank for your latest iOS and OS X security updates.

Podcast with Ahmed Mansoor, the world's most spied-on man

If you’re a user of Apple products you should know that critical updates have been pushed out for iOS and OS X in the last couple of weeks, addressing vulnerabilities that state-sponsored hackers have been using to spy upon people of interest.

Malware exploiting the vulnerabilities could intercept every SMS message you receive, read your email, scoop up your contacts list, steal your passwords, spy upon your FaceTime calls, turn on your iPhone’s video camera and microphone.

Citizen Lab reported last month that the target of the attacks was award-winning human rights activist Ahmed Mansoor, the so-called “million dollar dissident”.

It was when Mansoor received two suspicious SMS messages last month he didn’t click on the links - but instead forwarded them to security researchers for investigation. Sure enough, brand new sophisticated mobile spyware was lurking at the other end.

And that’s why Apple rolled out emergency security updates. Because it’s not just Mansoor who is at risk from attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in OS X, Safari and iOS. Everyone who uses these products is put at risk while vulnerabilities like this exist.

If you’ve ever wondered what it might be like to be the victim of state-sponsored espionage, if you care a jot about privacy and how encryption can save lives, you should check out Patrick Howell O’Neill’s interview with Ahmed Mansoor on the Daily Dot’s Layer 8 podcast.

Paving the Way for Citizen Diplomacy

Talyn Rahman-Figueroa, CEO of Grassroot Diplomat, discusses how everyone is a diplomat in today's globalised world.

The old stereotype of diplomacy is that of an elderly and dignified gentleman who is engaged in negotiations with men of similar calibre. Diplomacy is not just negotiations and secret disclosures but a formal representation of a recognised nation. Back before globalisation, sending diplomatic envoys to foreign lands was the only way to ensure international engagement at a face-to-face level. Nowadays, the era of the internet, satellite TV and cheap flights has made it easier for people to become more mobile than ever.

Students are no longer restricted to undertake studies in their own countries but are encouraged to explore the language, culture and activities of other nations. In fact, foreign governments everywhere are using cultural exchange programmes to engage individual citizens to promote cross-cultural knowledge and understanding with people of other countries. This concept is known as ‘citizen diplomacy’ and it is a developing phenomenon that is being used to complement official diplomacy.

Think of the last time you travelled abroad. What was the first question you were asked by local people? If the answer is, “Where do you come from?”, then you were unofficially engaging as a representative of your country. Citizen diplomacy is an emerging concept which suggests that individuals have the right to engage in foreign relations.

In a society where cheap flights and travel information are abundant, it has become easier for ordinary citizens to engage with the rest of the world on a more personal level. An increase in human mobility has meant that we have become less dependent on diplomats to tell us what to expect of foreign countries and are better informed through our own experiences.

Travellers tend to be more empathetic and can help to change the image and perception of their country, simply by engaging with local people on a personal and emotional level. Face-to-face contact is a powerful tool of communication that brings credibility and ordinary citizens are more likely to sell a positive image than a government broadcast.

Governments understand this power and have demonstrated the force of citizen diplomacy through constructed programmes. Through exchange programmes for example, citizen diplomats are able to cultivate relationships with every country. At a university setting, it is no accident that you are likely to meet citizens of every continent. The visa process is lenient for international students looking to study in another country as it means increasing capacity to foster common value and mutual national interest.

Student exchange programmes epitomise the concept of citizen diplomacy. The Japanese government, for example, uses its JET Programme (Japanese Exchange and Teaching) to advance and promote international exchange and respect between Japan and other nations. JET is popular amongst international students as it is one of the easiest routes in obtaining a work visa in a country that is otherwise shut to foreign workers. As a programme backed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, JET helps to promote and establish Japan as a nation that is open to all foreigners.

Similarly, the American summer scheme Camp America is advertised at secondary schools across the United Kingdom to strengthen the US-Anglo special relationship. By attracting British students to an American exchange programme, British students learn to dismiss any anti-American sentiment they may have by increasing cross-cultural understanding and knowledge of real Americans they work with. In July 2011, the British government has also extended a bid to attract 10,000 Brazilian students into British universities to strengthen diplomatic ties with Brazil, whose economic strength is rapidly increasing.

Citizen diplomacy is not only demonstrated by individuals but is also practiced by non-government organisations too. For instance, American NGO World Meets US involves itself in citizen-level diplomacy by translating foreign articles to connect Americans with the rest of the world and informing them about global perceptions of their nation. Likewise, independent diplomatic agency Grassroot Diplomat makes its mission to bridge the gap between civil society and political leaders by connecting both groups of any nation for one joint cause.

Despite the power of citizen diplomacy, it may not always be a force for good. According to online travel provider Expedia, foreigners have labelled Britons as the worst tourists abroad. As a nation that has a history of colonialism, it is detrimental to Britain’s image that their citizens make the least effort to speak the local dialect and can be disrespectful to a foreign environment when abroad. Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi long stated that tourism could be useful to boost the image of her country but added a note of caution to how they could use the information they learn about. In her speech, Suu Kyi stated that “Tourists have to be careful not to deceive themselves; if they want to see the country, they can find all sorts of excuses for doing so…but what they have to understand is how far their visits really go to help the people”. With all this said, it is important for tourists and students alike to quietly observe and absorb the culture and norms of a foreign society they have decided to visit to bring about mutual respect and understanding.

As official envoys for their country, diplomats are controlled seekers of information and have special training to collect, transform and utilise information into intelligence sources. As ordinary citizens, information that travellers obtain tends to be linked to their own experiences and emotion, and may not necessarily reflect well for the country they visited. Diplomacy is a delicate art of persuasion, negotiation and building ties and it has become more vital than ever for governments to rely on their citizens to establish better links with foreign allies. So the next time you meet a foreign visitor or you travel to a new destination, think of how your words and actions influence the image of the country you are from.
