Cauliflower cheese – A classic British recipe

By 1682 0

Britain has a rich indigenous culinary tradition. Cauliflower cheese is a traditional British dish. It can be eaten as a main course, for lunch or dinner, or as a side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower, cut into pieces without leaves
  • Half litre milk
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 50g butter
  • 100 gr strong cheddar, grated
  • 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs

Preparation:

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, then add 1 large cauliflower, broken into pieces, and cook for 5 mins – lift out a piece to test, it should be cooked. Drain the cauliflower, then tip into an ovenproof dish. Heat oven to 220C/200C/gas.

Put the saucepan back on the heat and add 500ml milk, 4 tbsp flour and 50g butter. Keep whisking fast as the butter melts and the mixture comes to the boil – the flour will disappear and the sauce will begin to thicken. Whisk for 2 mins while the sauce bubbles and becomes nice and thick.

Turn off the heat, stir in most of the 100g grated cheddar cheese and pour over the cauliflower. Scatter over the remaining cheese, and 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs if using. Put in the oven and bake for 20 mins until bubbling. Serve hot.

Protesters rally against anti-Semitism in France

By 1175 0

Thousands of protesters march under the slogan ‘That’s enough’ across France against a spate of anti-Semitic attacks on Tuesday night. Officials said that around 80 graves were defiled using spray-paint with blue and yellow Nazi symbols and swastikas in a Jewish cemetery in eastern France, and this caused the protest.

In the French capital, former presidents Francois Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy joined a rally led by Prime Minister Edouard Philippe on Republic Plaza. President Emmanuel Macron paid respects at one of the desecrated graves in the village of Quatzenheim.

“It is a plague that endangers everyone, not just us, and it must be condemned wherever and whenever it rears its head,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He had called on leaders in France and Europe to “take a strong stand against anti-Semitism.”

‘By the Grace of God’ overcomes the effort to prevent its release

By 1138 0

French film ‘By the Grace of God’ has overcome all efforts aimed to prevent its release, as the judicial system of the country has been successfully convinced that the release of the film would not affect the judgment of any case pending before the system.

Why the film has been subjected to the legal tug-of-war

French cleric Bernard Preynat has approached the judicial system against the film, saying that the film could prejudice the trial of a case against him pending in the system.

Why the film is so controversial

The film discusses the story of three people who have been sexually abused by a Catholic cleric. In other words, it is the cinematic version of the chargesheet filed against Mr Preynat.

How serious is the issue of sexual abuses in the Catholic Churches

Recently, Pope Frances indirectly admitted that the issue of sexual abuse in the church cleric community was one of the serious issues faced by the community.

The Pope is set to convince a global meeting of church community members to discuss the issue in the near future.

Recently, a senior cleric was defrocked over the charges of sexual abuse.

The timing of the film is very crucial. It comes at the time the world discusses the issue of sexual abuses in the Catholic Churches, and at the time the French society discusses the rare case of Mr Preynat.

It is the blind faith of some that embolden many to commit crimes in the name of that faith. A crime is a crime. No criminals should be protected under the shield of faith.

Do You Really Exist ??

By 1346 0

“Do you really exist?” This question may seem funny or unfair to you. But its time to rethink about the strange facts in such a question. The technology has grown into far distances. Using vast technological areas of the AI (Artificial Intelligence), software engineer Phillip Wang created the website named ‘This Person Does Not Exist’.

The website provides us the images of humans who never existed! This website is created using Generative adversarial network (GANs), which is a class of machine learning algorithms used in unsupervised learning, implemented by a system of two neural networks contesting with each other in a zero-sum game framework.

Each time when you refresh this website, you can see the image of different ‘non-existed’ persons. The website tells us how an artificial image and an identity can easily be created in this hi-tech world. Most of the identity proofs uses our images. Also, the modern gadgets are secured with the owner’s images using AI technology. The technology is linking the real world with the AI generated images.

The GANs technology was first introduced in 2014. But, when the NVIDIA took up the technology in 2017, more realistic images were obtained. This technology can be used in the advertising, modelling, photo shoot and many other fields where computer-generated models will be growing exponentially. And when these images can be moved and transferred into 3D or 5D, movies will be filled with ‘AI- actors’ in future!

Swedish student fined for Afghan deportation protest

By 1157 0

A Swedish activist student named Elin Ersson caused disruption on a plane that stopped the migrant being sent home. She had been fined 3,000 krona ($324; £251) for trying to stop the deportation of the Afghan migrant. Her video of the protest received international attention.

“I’m not going to sit down until this person is off the plane, because he will most likely get killed,” said Elin. The video shows how airline crew and other passengers persuade her to sit down and to stop filming. She was removed from the plane, with a 52-year-old Afghan and his escort from the Swedish Prison and Probation Service.

Elin said in the video that she disagree with Sweden’s policy of sending the rejected asylum seekers back. She got a very large social media support, although some accused her of grandstanding.

  • 3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned in an oven. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

British MPs unhappy with the way Facebook addresses fake news

By 1174 0

From the latest developments, it remains clear that the British parliamentarians are not happy with the way the world’s most popular social media platform, Facebook, addresses the sensitive issue of fake news.

A parliament committee, which has conducted an inquiry into the subject of the proliferation of fake news through the social media platforms such as Facebook, has observed that the Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has failed to address the issue of fake news. It has found out that the social media platform has been several times used to destruct the democratic framework of the country by its rivals, primarily its external rivals.

The committee has demanded that the government should impose stricter regulation over the social media platforms such as Facebook. Anyway, the committee has not specifically prescribed how the social media platforms should be regulated.

The Facebook administration has asserted that the company would welcome all kinds of meaningful discussions and deliberations.

In the recent history, many countries have come forward against the proliferation of fake news through the social media platforms, such as Facebook.

Earlier, it was alleged that the social media platform was extensively misused by Russians to help the Republics gain a edge over the democrats during the US presidential race, in which the Republicans crushed the Democrats, paving way for the induction of Donald Trump as the President of the US –in other words, the, so called, Accidental President of the US.
