![]() Our stories all connect through this event and serving a delicious meal is an added benefit. Personally, I most enjoy this aspect of living history and hope that I can provide our guests with a similar experience and influence them to learn more about their past. I have long been interested in knowing the lives of my ancestors and of those around me. “I believe Tavern Dinners are unique because they give us a taste of the past as much as is possible. We use food as an educational experience to connect to those who have lived before us and inspire those who share in our stories,” said Zimmerman. ![]() Our recipes represent Dayton’s history with specific interest in the early settlers, the Culp family and the brewers and immigrants in the mid-19th Century. “Dayton History prides itself on presenting history through food at various locations in Carillon Historical Park. All are based on historic recipes and methods. This is all in addition to employing a historic brewing process for their authentic beers. Carillon Brewing Company bakes crackers with the spent grains as well as bakes bread over the fire a few days each week. ![]() Settler Survival Summer Camps are offered during July and August where campers spend a day learning how to cook over the fire, baking sweets and creating ginger ale as well as working in the garden learning how to grow vegetables. Historic cooking in the early settlement area has become a staple over the past few years. The approach using food as an educational component to teach history is something that Dayton History employs throughout the year. The addition of the Miami and Erie Canal connecting us to the world gave Dayton new spices, flavors and people that helped Dayton grow into the city we know today,” said Zimmerman. Morning and mid-day meals in early Ohio had influences from England and Germany, which meant meat and potatoes. “The term dinner traditionally refers to the mid-day meal which would have been a large meal suitable to farmers and laborers to keep up their strength for the work day. Zimmerman explains that dinner, as we know it today, would have been a small meal centuries ago. Just like cookbooks and recipes today, we may add our own touches and unless an owner of the time wrote notes in the margin, we can’t know exactly how recipes were prepared,” said Zimmerman. “I search through several different cookbooks that would have been available to a household in Dayton, Ohio in the 1830s so I try to get ingredients as accurate as we can … Some of my favorite books include The Art of Cookery by Hannah Glasse and The Kentucky Housewife by Lettice Bryan. It’s a glimpse at how people living in this region may have dined in the 1800s. The featured recipes were pulled from 19th century recipe books. An apple spice cake with ice cream fills in for dessert. The main course is a herb and sausage stuffed pork loin served with a green bean tart, fried beets, sweet potatoes and roasted onions. The evening flavors begin with carrot soup and sourdough bread. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then you pack it into the capacious cavity and it’s ready for the oven. You cook some normal onion in the rendered goosefat (yeah baby, yeah), add garlic and lemon zest, and then stir that into 1.4 kilos of potatoes, which have been boiled and mashed. While the goose is drying, you can do the stuffing. (Plus, I was getting hot standing at the stove). It was about 3:30pm when I realized the goose wasn’t drying fast enough for my liking, so I turned on the airconditioner as well. I just moved it to the kitchen and aimed it at the goose. It wasn’t too much trouble using the fan it is summer after all (sorry to my friends in the northern hemisphere), we had our free-standing fan already out in the lounge room. ![]() It’s so cool when you pour the water on the skin – it contracts and stretches over the meat. Nigella suggests doing this over a roasting tray, and then draining the tray, but I just did it in the sink, on a rack. ![]() It certainly would make life easier.įor this recipe, you prick the skin all over with a knife, then pour boiled water over the skin. The whole fan fandango (har har) is supposed to make the goose’s skin crisp, much like the poaching-then-roasting technique makes the duck soft and crisp. Remember, this is the “holy shit! A fan is involved” goose. Not a disturbing sight at all.īefore you start anything else, you need to remove the fat from around the goose’s cavity, and render it down. In addition to the giblets, you also need the goose neck for the recipe, which, I discovered, had been cut off by the butcher and stored within the cavity. Red Cabbage Cooked in the Viennese Fashion (Weekend Lunch) Dad very kindly drove us back to Box Hill, where I sheepishly bought some duck gizzards and then went home to start on the cooking.Ģ12. Me: Wait, are gizzards and giblets the same thing?īLOODY HELL. So once we’d done all the other shopping, we headed to Belmore Butchers (which is kinda like Rendinas in terms of quality, but a 20 minute walk from our house, instead of a 5 minute walk).īutcher: I’m well, thank-you! How can I help you?īutcher: Sorry love, we don’t keep giblets. “Gizzard, what’s a gizzard? You mean giblet! We got giblet, you want giblet?” Er, no. So we went to the poultry shops in the Box Hill Market, asking for gizzard. I doubted the Box Hill butchers would have any goose gizzards, but I figured that one from a duck or chicken would suffice. One thing I realized might be difficult to obtain was a goose gizzard. This morning, Dad took me to Box Hill to get all the last ingredients I would need – easy stuff, like red cabbage, onions, etc. And today was the day of the dinner party! ![]() ![]() ![]() Update: After meeting with the courier and returning to Isaac.You are to meet with Isaac's contact in the alley behind the Fast Buck to pick up an item for Isaac.

He mentions men still cry at her gravestone to this day, which suggests there is a cemetery nearby. Isaac knows exactly what the "Ginger Swans" clue means apparently, Ginger Swan was an extremely attractive actress who died back in 1954. He mentions a "Ginger Swans" before running off - only to be dragged into the sewers by an unseen creature. With a little pressing however, he admits that he was selling Isaac a tape, but no longer has it in his possession. Upon doing so, the fledgling will come across the frantic courier, who initially denies knowing anything about Isaac or the item in question. An email on one of the computers states to meet the seller in the alley behind the Fast Buck. ![]() Provided with a computer password, Isaac will send the fledgling to the Ground Zero internet café, where they are to check for an email sent by the seller concerning a drop-off location. Upon entering and speaking with Isaac, he will explain that he recently purchased an item, but the seller will not deliver it due to fright. He will then unsubtly point them in the direction of Isaac's jewelry store, Abram's Golden Age Jewelry.
![]() In indoor environments, lack of Global Positioning System (GPS) signals and line of sight with orbiting satellites makes navigation more challenging compared to outdoor environments. Current technological advancements enable users to encapsulate these systems in handheld devices, which effectively increases the popularity of navigation systems and the number of users. Navigation systems help users access unfamiliar environments. ![]() All of these techniques present a number of issues, including low precision, high computational complexity, and unreliability due to wireless channel impairments such as multipath effects caused by non line of sight (NLOS) propagation in indoor environments, while most positioning devices lack sufficient computing power. Yet in the literature, in addition to the range-free techniques such as Centroid method and distance vector hop (DV-Hop) technique, typical ranging techniques based on channel state information (CSI), angle of arrival (AoA), time of arrival (ToA), time difference of arrival (TDoA), and radio signal strength indicator (RSSI) using various wireless technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID), ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB), WiFi, and Bluetooth have been proposed for indoor positioning. All these transformational applications drive the need for accurate localization systems which require lots of resources due to the massive deployment of IoT devices. ![]() ![]() ![]() Added the foreground_adjust property to rules with a background.caret values now respect alpha as expected, rather than pre-blending against the background color.Added block_caret key to use in conjunction with block carets.Windows: Fixed some fonts having an incorrect baseline.Windows: Fixed a rendering issue with certain combining characters.Linux: Color glyphs are now drawn properly on light backgrounds.Fixed some cases of incorrect glyph positions on Windows and Mac.Fixed a caret positioning bug when non-trivial graphemes are present.Improved rendering of combining characters.Windows: Fixed a bug where auto complete entries would contain an ellipsis when not required.Windows: Fixed minimized and maximized state not restoring.Mac: Error message dialogs can now be closed with the escape key.Mac: Ensure context menus are shown without scrolling.Mac: Add full support for macOS native tabs.Improved performance with large numbers of rules in a.Added extends keyword to have one theme derive from another. ![]() Added variables support and associated revised JSON format with variables key.Linux: Tweaked behavior of up/down when on the first and last lines of a file to better match platform conventions.Linux: Fixed a crash when using GTK_IM_MODULE=xim.Linux: Improved input method (IM) support - fcitx, ibus, etc.Fixed draw_minimap_border setting not working. ![]()

Imps are considered to be invulnerable to most things, only certain objects and enchantments are capable of harming them, but they can easily kept away by wards. During the time of the witch hunts, supernatural creatures such as imps were sought out as proof of witchcraft, though often the so called "imp" was typically a black cat, lizard, toad or some other form of an extraordinary pet. To this end it came to be believed that imps were the familiar spirit servants of witches and warlocks, where the little demons served as spies and informants due to their abilities and wit. Imps feed on the energies of people, especially arcane energies, with an exception to their master whoever it may be. Imps are associated with Hell and fire, being a real threat for humanity and finding joy in manipulating with heat. They serve their master (mostly the devil, but they familiar of a witch or warlock) by spreading confusing lies or fear, which they do quite well. Imps are considered to be the spawns of the devil. However, both creatures were fond of pranks and misleading people, but most of the time, the pranks were harmless fun, although some could be upsetting and harmful, such as switching babies or leading travellers astray in places with which they were not familiar. Later people began to associate fairies with being good and imps with being malicious and evil. Imps are often depicted as small creatures, typically with horns, sharp teeth, claws, a tail and sometimes with wings. This trait gave way to using the term "impish" for someone who loves pranks and practical jokes. Even if the imp was successful in getting the friendship it sought, it often still played pranks and jokes on its friend, either out of boredom or simply because this was the nature of the imp. They often used jokes and pranks as a means of attracting human friendship, which often backfired when people became tired or annoyed of the imp's endeavors, usually driving it away. Imps were often portrayed as lonely little creatures always in search of human attention. They are described as being wild and uncontrollable, much the same as fairies, and in some cultures they were considered the same beings, both sharing the same sense of free spirit and enjoyment of all things they consider as fun and others may consider as mischevious pranks. Sometimes imps were the attendants of gods. They were not always evil back then, but always mischevious. Imps are lesser demonic entities originating from Germanic folklore. The Old English noun and associated verb impian appear to come from an unattested Late Latin term * emputa ( impotus is attested in the Salic law), the neuter plural of Greek ἔμϕυτος 'natural, implanted, grafted'. Starting in the 16th century, it was often used in expressions like "imps of serpents", "imp of hell", "imp of the devil", and so on and by the 17th century, it came to mean a small demon, a familiar of a witch. The Old English noun impa meant a young shoot or scion of a plant or tree, and later came to mean the scion of a noble house, or a child in general. ![]() ![]() ![]() The enemy is disturbing to look at, and the combination of visual effects, and almost excruciating sound effects when it is close or captures you, actually do a good job of creating unease. Without spoiling too much, there is an enemy in the game which, upon seeing you will chase you relentlessly, and if it catches you then you die. But scary, panic-inducing, or one of those things that leaves you whimpering at night before nervously drifting off into a nightmare? No, not at all.īut the biggest misstep in the design of the sequel is the second way in which you can die in Layers of Fear 2. It’s interesting, and maybe a little challenging to overcome, sure. If none of that previous sentence sounds particularly scary, it’s because it isn’t. Death comes from two main sources, the first is by failing to dodge either light or fire (depending on the part of the story) and these dangers are on pre-set paths, so your success is dictated by your ability to tactically time your movement between safe zones. Perhaps the biggest change from the first game is that in the sequel, death is a real possibility, resulting in a restart from the generously distributed checkpoints. ![]() However, it doesn’t take you very long to start spotting the patterns and telegraphing the position of scares even if you still don’t know exactly what the scare will be, diminishing it somewhat. As with most of Layers of Fear 2, the first few times this happens, you’re shocked momentarily, and the rush of endorphins that horror fans love is delivered. It also plays that familiar trick of changing things after you’ve exited a room so the location is different from when you entered, a nice way of unsettling you and increasing the tension. The floor plan of the liner also creates narrow corridors and tight small rooms to navigate and explore, and given the first-person perspective, allow for very specific and controlled vision, perfect for deliberate scares right in front of you, or as you are forced to turn 180 degrees at a dead end or when exiting a room. The effect of going from light to dark when moving through the ship is intentionally jarring,and when coupled with the swaying of the ship or the audible cocktail of crashing waves, creaking floors and mechanical drumming from the underbelly of the engine rooms far below is incredibly unsettling. Such a modern and often elegant location felt more indulgent than intimidating, but it soon becomes apparent why they chose this setting. The choice of a cruise liner initially seemed an odd one. ![]() You’ll find clues and collectibles that piece together your current situation and your past as you find purpose and make decisions that guide the narrative of the emerging story. As you begin your journey it is clear all is not what it seems, and your adventure descends into a psychological roller-coaster ride that tests the limits of emotions. Waking up in your room, you must explore the ship to find out why you’re there and more about who you are. You’ve been hired for your latest film that is set onboard a luxury cruise liner. You assume the role of a prolific actor, famous for their 5-star performances across the globe. But does this and other changes from the first game elevate it to new heights? Sadly not, as Layers of Fear 2 makes some design choices that feel reminiscent of the Titanic on its maiden voyage. So a step-change it is then, from the eerie Victorian backdrop exploring a painter’s life in the original to a more modern excursion on a cruise liner assuming the role of a high-profile actor. The original Layers of Fear fell more into the second category whilst it garnered praise from some, others were left underwhelmed with its execution. If the previous outing was mediocre, a step-change is required to change perceptions, which itself brings certain risks. If the original is a masterpiece, recapturing that same presence and emotion can be difficult. Sequels in the horror genre are always a tough gig. ![]() ![]() Use Sharpen AI either as a standalone software or as a plug-in for Topaz Studio / Photoshop / Lightroom Classic.

Would the weather be another attraction for the extreme poor ? I hope there will be a study to be conducted to answer these questions and shared to in this forum. Would family networks serve as safety nets for these extremely poor population. To add to that, income isn’t there and they’re on food stamps and must buy the cheap stuff and the cheap stuff is fattening. People who don’t move, don’t move at a good pace get no exercise at all, and without exercise a person gets fat. If I get this right, I have one question to ask? Why are people attracted to live in sub-Saharan Africa during this difficult period of their lives? Is is because standard of living in sub -Saharan Africa is still cheap in comparison to living in other countries and one can survive with $1.90 a day where as it is unthinkable to even try elsewhere. Answer (1 of 27): I know the answer to this. But despite the decline in poverty in Sub- Saharan Africa to reach 416 million by 2030, everyone living in extreme poverty in 2030 will be living in sub-Saharan Africa. I think I now understand where the confusion came from in that the total number of poor people is falling even with population increase. Obesity is especially rampant among Americans with the lowest levels of education and the highest poverty rates. Obesity is a risk for all groups of Americans, but what is often left unsaid is the special vulnerability of the most disadvantaged groups. Over the last three decades obesity has grown almost three-fold among youngsters. ![]() Thank you for your reply and for clarifying the issues from your report on " The number of extremely poor people continues to rise in Sub-Saharan Africa, while falling rapidly in all other regions".
