# Shirataki noodles

Shirataki (Japanese: 白滝, often written with the hiragana しらたき) are translucent, gelatinous Japanese noodles made from the corm of the konjac plant. In traditional Japanese cuisine, they are eaten in soups or stir-fried. The texture is chewy, similar to a tough jelly, and has little flavor before seasoning.
Compared to noodles made from wheat or rice, shirataki is very low in calories, and are sometimes eaten by those on a diet. They are also valuable to people with allergies or intolerances to wheat, gluten or eggs. Shirataki is often sold in containers with alkaline water, and needs to be rinsed before cooking to remove the bitter flavor.

## Names and forms

The word shirataki means "white waterfall", referring to the white appearance of the noodles.
Shirataki is also called yam noodles or devil's tongue noodles, referring to the English names of the konjac plant.$^{:157–12}$. One variation is ito-konnyaku (糸こんにゃく "konjac strings"), which are generally thicker, darker, with a square cross section. It is preferred in the Kansai region.

## Composition

The konjac yam, whose corm (a thick underground stem) yields the yam-cake (konnyaku) from which the noodles are made, is also called devil's tongue yam or elephant yam.$^{:157–11}$ Shirataki noodles are made from 97% water and 3% konjac, which contains glucomannan, a water-soluble dietary fiber. They are very low in digestible carbohydrates and food energy, and have little flavor of their own.

## Manufacture

There used to be a difference in manufacturing methods. Producers in the Kansai region of Japan prepared shirataki (called ito konnyaku there) by cutting konnyaku jelly into threads, while producers in the Kantō region made the noodles by pushing konnyaku through small holes into a hot, concentrated lime solution. Modern producers make both types using the latter method.

## Culinary use

Shirataki noodles come in dry and soft "wet" forms in Asian markets and some supermarkets. When purchased wet, they are packaged in liquid. Some brands require rinsing and sautéing or parboiling, as the alkaline water in the packaging has an odor some find unpleasant. They normally have a shelf life of up to one year.
The noodles can also be drained and dry-roasted, which diminishes bitterness and gives the noodles a more pasta-like consistency. Dry-roasted noodles can be served in soup stock, sauce, or noodle soup. It can also be stir-fried.

# La Fête du Baiser

La Fête du Baiser ("festival of the kiss") is a festival celebrated the Saturday after St. Valentine's Day, in Roquemaure, France, near Avignon. Begun in 1989, it commemorates not only Saint Valentine, whom locals claim as a former resident, but the arrival of his remains in 1868 to Roquemaure's collegiate church reliquary. Celebrations revolve around a return to a 19th-century way of life, including costumes and markets.
The relics of St Valentine were purchased in Rome, in hopes of curing the town's diseased vine stocks; within four years they were healed. Today, Roquemaure is home to a winery (Cellar St. Valentine) which produces wines named after the saint.
The festival was started by a local priest, Father René Durieu. Men and women around the village dress as priests and nuns, kissing each other, as well as travelers. Special foods and wines are produced especially for the festival.

# Blaauwkrantz Bridge disaster

The Blaauwkrantz Bridge disaster occurred on 22 April 1911. A mixed train from Port Alfred travelling to Grahamstown, made up of six goods trucks, three passenger carriages and a guard's van, came to grief when one of the goods trucks derailed on the Blaauwkrantz Bridge over the Blaauwkrantz Pass and, with the three carriages and the guard's van, plunged into the ravine 200 feet (61 metres) below. Of the 55 passengers, 28 were killed and 22 seriously injured.
Some 200 metres (660 ft) before reaching the bridge a truck left the rails, near the centre of the bridge the truck, which was carrying stone to build the Grahamstown Cathedral, turned over and broke the necks of the buffers which detached it from the front of the train. The sudden impact of the rear coaches against the overturned truck caused them to topple over the side of the bridge and turn somersault before being dashed to pieces on the rocks below. A carriage roof, a door and a lampholder were detached in the fall and were found hanging on the side of the bridge.
The locomotive had made it to the other side of the bridge without damage, and so the engine driver raced the locomotive to Grahamstown to get help.

# Tiguala

Tiguala was an ancient Roman-Berber city in the province of Byzacena. The exact location of the town remains unknown for certain, but it was in Sahel in northern Tunisia.

## Bishopric

Tiguala was also the seat of an ancient diocese, which remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church called Dioecesis Tigualensis. The role of bishop is currently vacant.
Tiguala, in today's Tunisia, is an ancient episcopal seat of the Roman province of Bizacena.
There are three documented bishops of this African diocese. Gaiano took part in the council of Cabarsussi, held in 393 by the Maximianists, a dissident sect of the Donatists, and signed the deeds. Gaiano himself took part in the Carthage conference of 411, which brought together the Catholic and Donatist bishops of Roman Africa; the Catholic Asmunio was also present at the meeting. Mangenzio finally assisted at the synod gathered in Carthage by the Vandal king in 1144, following which he was exiled.
Today Tiguala survives as a titular bishop's seat; the current titular bishop is Mario Enrique Ríos Mont, former auxiliary bishop of Guatemala.
# Servius Cornelius Dolabella Petronianus

Servius Cornelius Dolabella Petronianus was a Roman senator in the latter part of the first century. As the colleague of the emperor Domitian, he was one of the eponymous consuls of AD 86.

## Family

Petronianus was the son of Petronia and one of the Cornelii Dolabellae. His mother had previously been married to Aulus Vitellius, the future emperor, while his father had been adopted by Servius Sulpicius Galba, whom Otho overthrew in AD 69, the "Year of the Four Emperors". Petronianus' father was put to death by Vitellius upon his accession.
There is considerable uncertainty about the identity of Petronianus' father. Suetonius, the only ancient historian to mention his praenomen, calls him Gnaeus, while the filiation of Servius Cornelius Dolabella Metilianus Pompeius Marcellus, consul suffectus in AD 113 and who is considered the likely son of Petronianus, is Ser. f. P. n. P. pronepos P. abnepos. If Petronianus was the father of Marcellus, then according to Marcellus' filiation Petronianus' father, grandfather, and great-grandfather would have been named Publius. Petronianus' father might then be the same Cornelius Dolabella who was consul suffectus in AD 55 or 56, and probably the same Cornelius Dolabella who had been inducted into a priestly college, probably the Salii Palatini, in 38 or 39; but this consul's praenomen is also uncertain; on the basis of Marcellus' filiation, some scholars infer that he was Publius, and that he was the father of Petronianus.
# R. M. Singh

Rahi Mohinder Singh better known as RM Singh, is a Punjabi-speaking Indian painter, illustrator, and teacher. He studied under artist Sobha Singh. He has painted many men and women of importance and his portraits have been exhibited the Parliament of India and the President House of India.

## Early life and education

Rahi Mohinder Singh started schooling at a government primary school in his native village Bharoli Kalan, distt. Pathankot, Punjab, India. Later, he went to a nearby town Pathankot for high school. He started painting in oil colours when he was in 7th standard. The very first painting, he recalls painting was a landscape on waste piece of plywood tea leave container box. He was introduced to canvas painting, later. In 1983, he got a chance to meet renowned artist Sobha Singh (painter) at Andretta, Himachal Pradesh. RM Singh remained a lifelong follower of Sobha Singh's works. Soon he became a child prodigy known for his art works among local art lover families of Pathankot. He participated in an exhibition, which was organised by a local convent school, where he sold off all his displayed works. For his further studies in art he went to New Delhi but finding the Delhi atmosphere not much to his taste, he returned and tried at Government College of Arts, Chandigarh. He completed his graduation in Fine Arts from this institute.

## Works and style

RM Singh is known for working with a wide spectrum of genres of painting. Painting landscapes is rather easy for him, but, where he finds the actual challenge to his sense of aesthetics and the grip over the medium is the genre of portraiture. He recognizes a deeply entrenched realism in himself as he says that the portrait cannot be simply 'like' someone, it should 'be' someone.

## Portraits

In 1994, he was commissioned by the War Museum in Ludhiana to paint portraits of the war heroes of Punjab.
He made 40 portraits of writers and artists of Punjab for Punjab Kala Bhawan, Chandigarh.
At Shabad Parkash Museum, Rakba, Ludhiana, Punjab, he painted portraits of the 36 writers of Guru Granth Sahib. He also painted the "Inauguration Ceremony of The Holy Guru Granth Sahib ji" which portrays Baba Buddha ji opening the holy scripture for the public.
Singh has painted portraits of Giani Gurmukh Singh Musafir and Shivraj Patil. Both portraits are displayed at Lok Sabha Gallery at the Parliament of India. In 2012 and 2016, respectively, he painted portraits of Pratibadevi Singh Patil and Pranab Mukhraji. Both portraits are displayed at the Rashtrapati Bhavan (president's residence) in New Delhi.
# Battle of Mount Street Bridge

The Battle of Mount Street Bridge was fought on 26 April 1916 between the British Army and Irish rebels during the Easter Rising. It took place in Dublin at the southern end of Mount Street Lower where it meets the Grand Canal.

## Background

On 24 April 1916, Easter Monday, after Éamon de Valera headed his Volunteers' contingent into Boland's Bakery, another group of 17 Volunteers was sent to secure the Dún Laoghaire road to stall anticipated British reinforcements. The 17 volunteers were distributed around Mount Street Bridge: 25 Northumberland Road was initially occupied by four Volunteers, although two were dismissed home for being too young; four Volunteers occupied the Parochial Hall, seven Volunteers held Clanwilliam House, and two were stationed in the Schoolhouse. On 26 April, a female dispatcher informed that nearly 2,000 British soldiers had landed at Dún Laoghaire and that the Robin Hood Battalion, the 7th Battalion Sherwood Foresters, was heading towards them.

## Battle

The advancing British stopped at Carisbrook House and learned about the Volunteers' presence in the area, responding to sniper fire. The column came under fire from the two men in 25 Northumberland Road, and it took the British five hours of continued firing to dislodge them from the building. Volunteers in the other buildings nearby also shot at exposed British forces. The Volunteers held the bridge against British forces for nine hours. The battle resulted in the biggest losses to both the British Army and the rebels during the uprising; the Sherwood Foresters suffered 216 casualties, including 28 dead, while four Volunteers were killed in the action: Dick Murphy, George Reynolds, Michael Malone and Patrick Doyle.

## In popular culture

The battle is depicted in the docudrama television series Insurrection.
# Xxplosive

"Xxplosive" is a song by American rapper-producer Dr. Dre from his second studio album 2001 (1999). It features Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and Six-Two in the verses and Hittman singing the chorus. The song was released as a promo single, backed with "Fuck You".

## Background

The production for "Xxplosive" was originally made for rapper King T to be used on his debut Aftermath album The Kingdom Come, which was ultimately delayed for several years and not released until King T had left the label. It was also offered to LL Cool J, who recorded vocals for the track but ultimately turned it down, as "it just didn't quite work, it wasn't right".

## Attribution controversy

In a 2012 interview with AllHipHop, former Dr. Dre collaborator Chris Taylor claimed to have helped create the production for "Xxplosive" and that Dr. Dre had not credited him for his contribution. Taylor alleged to have taken legal action after Dr. Dre failed to pay him the basic $1,500 fee for his work on the track; although Taylor still did not receive any official credit, he claimed the dispute forced Dr. Dre to properly credit co-producer Mel-Man for his production work on 2001.

# 1929 Bay of Islands by-election

The Bay of Islands by-election of 1929 was a by-election held on 10 April 1929 during the 22nd New Zealand Parliament in the Northland electorate of Bay of Islands. The by-election came about because Harold Rushworth's win in the general election of the previous year was declared void. The seat was won again by Harold Rushworth of the Country Party.

## General election

Harold Rushworth was originally declared the winner of the general election.
1928 general election: Bay of Islands :
| Party | Party | Candidate | Votes | % | ±% |
| | Country Party | Harold Rushworth | 3,820 | 47.83 | |
| | Reform | Allen Bell | 3,818 | 47.80 | −8.44 |
| | Liberal–Labour | Robert Hornblow | 349 | 4.37 | +0.72 |
| Majority | Majority | Majority | 2 | 0.03 | −37.20 |
| Informal votes | Informal votes | Informal votes | 59 | 0.73 | −0.26 |
| Turnout | Turnout | Turnout | 8,046 | 86.43 | −3.58 |
| Registered electors | Registered electors | Registered electors | 9,309 | | |

## Cause of by-election

Supporters of Allen Bell filed a petition to the electoral court complaining of voting irregularities. Bell, however, claimed that he would take no part in any attempts to upset the election, leaving it up to his supporters. This petition was ultimately successful and it was announced by the court that a by-election should take place for the seat.

## Selection process

Both Rushworth and Bell decided to run again for the seat.
The Labour Party refused to put up a candidate, believing that the two candidates who had tied with each other should compete in the by-election.

## Result

Rushworth won the by-election.
This by-election clearly created much interest as the turnout was higher here than it was at the general election. Rushworth's improved showing can be put down to the fact that he got most of the votes that were previously cast for Hornblow.
1929 Bay of Islands by-election :
