Soos vinkel en koljander, dís Najma Abrahams (Tietie) en Azba Fanie
(Nanna). Dié twee TikTok-tuiskokke se hande staan vir niks verkeerd óf
stil nie, veral nie vir die kospotte nie. Hul resepte is hartskos –
niks fensie bestanddele nie, net geurige regte, egte huiskos met ’n
Kaaps-Maleise twist.
Groenboontjiebredie, tamatiekos, split pea-sop en selfs die vergete
sagobredie, blomkoolbredie, panfrikkadel, Nando’s-hoender, broodpoeding
en dhaltjies eerlik gemaak, sonder fieterjasies – dit is mos die
onopgesmukte huiskos waarna elkeen verlang. Die kerries is natuurlik
ook daar – suikerboon-, hoender-, dhal- en mincekerrie, breyani, noem
maar op. Snoek-in-die-oond, kerrievis en seekos-paella (times are
tough, ’n mens moet maar ’n paar maande of so spaar daarvoor, sê die
twee siezas) bring die see in jou kospotte. Vir “broke week” is daar
sakpas-randrekkers soos dhanya-soesys, eierkerrie en
spaghetti-en-sardyne. Tietie se peperminttert en lemon meringue is uit
’n ander wêreld en Nanna se braised skaapnek sal enige onthaaltafel
laat kreun van smaakgenot. Mavrou, Tietie se lamsvleis-weergawe van dié
tradisionele gereg wat in die Kaaps-Maleise kultuur by troues voorgesit
word, is ’n tydlose treffer.
En moenie van die happies en lekkernye vergeet nie – dis nou die “soet
en sout” waarmee Mzansi se mense grootgeword en die lewe om elke hoek
en draai gevier het. Watertand-verleidings soos bollas, flapjacks,
skons, snowballs, patatkoekies, sweetcorn fritters en vele meer.
Samoesas en roti’s kry variasies in geure en kleure om van te droom.
(Só sê Tietie: Roti is baie versatile – eet dit met kerrie, masala
steak of selfs as ’n poeding. Dis tog te lekker met strawberries,
strawberry jam en cream.)
Nou ja, as jy nie so ’n tuiskombuis geken het nie, is jy waarskynlik
reeds daaraan voorgestel op Tietie en Nanna se kookprogram, Tietie en
Nanna kook op VIA, kanaal 147 op DStv, of in hul stories en kwinkslae
op Instagram en TikTok.
Met Tietie en Nanna se onfeilbare resepte, perfek beproef, kan elkeen
weer huiskos, soos ons ma’s, oumas en tantes dit gemaak het, in hul eie
kombuise opdis.

Communication is crucial to success in life and business. However, it
is not just big speeches that matter: it is also those critical,
spur-of-the-moment situations for which we cannot prepare.
A prospective client asking unexpected questions during a sales pitch,
a teacher singling you out for an answer during a class, a
high-pressure meeting with senior executives at work, or even a
heartwarming toast to deliver on the spot. All are fraught scenarios
that might cause you to freeze up. The pandemic has only boosted this
fear, by stripping the spontaneity from communication during lockdown,
and then changing the communication landscape.
In this invaluable guide, Matt Abrahams – Stanford University lecturer
and creator of the hit podcast, Think Fast, Talk Smart – provides a
six-point methodology that will enable you to manage these stressful,
impromptu circumstances to create and deliver crisp, compelling and
calm communication. Think Faster, Talk Smarter is an energetic,
engaging resource for anyone who wants to speak out, spread their
ideas, and ultimately share their story.

Noirish thriller about a man who enters into a dangerous

(Matt Long) returns to his home town to attend his father's
funeral, he is reunited with old friends Emily (Emmanuelle Chriqui)
and Brian Nicholson (Luke Mably), who are now married and very
wealthy. When Emily and Brian offer to help Dave restore his
father's house, the old friends instantly pick up where they left
off years ago. But when Emily and Brian's relationship suddenly
turns violent, Emily runs to Dave for protection from her abusive
husband. Despite warnings that Emily may not be who she appears to
be, Dave is unable to resist his feelings towards her and the two
begin an affair. But as the truth about Emily is revealed, Dave
finds himself caught up in a deadly game with no easy way out.
How do drugs get to the market? What controls are there and what
procedures for monitoring their effects? And how adequate are the
regulators in protecting public health when new drugs have serious
side effects? The Therapeutic Nightmare tells the story of the
sleeping pill Halcion - a story which is far from over. First
marketed in the 1970s, Halcion has been taken by millions of
patients around the world. For many years it has been associated
with serious adverse effects such as amnesia, hallucinations,
aggression and, in extreme cases, homicide. Thirteen years after
its first release, it was banned by the British government. It
remains on sale in the United States and many other countries. This
book explains why patients have come to be exposed to Halcion's
risks and examines the corporate interests of the manufacturers,
the professional interests of the scientists and medical
researchers and the interests of patients in safe and effective
medication. It reveals how these contending forces shape the
regulatory decision-making process about drug safety. As the number
of new drugs and health products grows, a major challenge facing
regulators and the medical profession is how to put the interests
of public health decisively and consistently above the commercial
interests of the drugs industry, while becoming more accountable to
patient and consumer organizations.
The book provides an original and important narrative on the
significance of canon in the Christian tradition. Standard accounts
of canon reduce canon to scripture and treat scripture as a
criterion of truth. Scripture is then related in positive or
negative ways to tradition, reason, and experience. Such projects
involve a misreading of the meaning and content of canon -- they
locate the canonical heritage of the church within epistemology --
and Abraham charts the fatal consquences of this move, from the
Fathers to modern feminist theology. In the process he shows that
the central epistemological concerns of the Enlightenment have
Christian origins and echoes. He also shows that the crucial
developments of theology from the Reformation onwards involve
extraordinary efforts to fix the foundations of faith. This
trajectory is now exhausted theologically and spiritually. Hence,
the door is opened for a recovery of the full canonical heritage of
the early church and for fresh work on the epistemology of
theology.
This guidebook describes the St Oswald's Way and Northumberland
Coast Paths, both long-distance trails through Northumberland. St
Oswald's Way (156km, 97 miles) begins in Heavenfield and traverses
parts of Northumberland National Park and visits Hadrian’s Wall,
the Simonside Hills and the beautiful Coquet Valley, before
continuing up the coast to Lindisfarne (Holy Island). The
Northumberland Coast Path (100km, 62 miles) takes in the whole of
the Northumberland Coast AONB with its breathtaking coastal scenery
and birdlife. Both trails converge on Holy Island, with the Coast
Path continuing up to Berwick-upon-Tweed. Each trail can be walked
in a week. The guide includes practical advice on when to go and
what to take, and information on the region, its weather, wildlife,
history and heritage. Detailed route descriptions and clear,
step-by-step instructions are accompanied by 1:50K OS mapping.
Public transport options and accommodation listings are also given.
Described as the cradle of Christianity in England,
Northumberland's history is long and varied and the trails reflect
this with visits to some magnificent architecture – rambling
castles, Norman churches, medieval abbeys – as well as sites of
enormous archaeological and geological interest, quiet villages and
Sites of Special Scientific Interest. From rugged hills to coastal
dunes this is one of Britain's most beautiful landscapes for
walking and backpacking far away from it all.
This guide describes the long-distance St Cuthbert's Way through
the unspoilt scenery of Northumberland and the Borders. The 100km
(62 mile) route begins at Melrose and crosses the rugged crags and
heather moorland of the Cheviot Hills, passing through
Northumberland National Park to the atmospheric Lindisfarne (Holy
Island). It can be walked within a week, although there is scope
for shortening or lengthening the stages to suit different
itineraries. Includes an option to continue to Berwick-upon-Tweed
on the final stage of the Northumberland Coast Path. The guidebook
is crammed with interesting snippets of information, alongside
indispensable practical details of transport and accommodation in
the area. With varied scenery and a rich history encompassing
spectacular castles, medieval abbeys and Roman remains, this is one
of Britain's most beautiful corners to explore on foot.
Essays and poems exploring the diverse range of the Arab American
experience. This collection begins with stories of immigration and
exile by following newcomers' attempts to assimilate into American
society. Editors Ghassan Zeineddine, Nabeel Abraham, and Sally
Howell have assembled emerging and established writers who examine
notions of home, belonging, and citizenship from a wide array of
communities, including cultural heritages originating from Lebanon,
Palestine, Iraq, and Yemen. The strong pattern in Arab Detroit
today is to oppose marginalization through avid participation in
almost every form of American identity-making. This engaged stance
is not a by-product of culture, but a new way of thinking about the
US in relation to one's homeland. Hadha Baladuna ("this is our
country") is the first work of creative nonfiction in the field of
Arab American literature that focuses entirely on the Arab diaspora
in Metro Detroit, an area with the highest concentration of Arab
Americans in the US. Narratives move from a young Lebanese man in
the early 1920s peddling his wares along country roads to an
aspiring Iraqi-Lebanese poet who turns to the music of Tupac Shakur
for inspiration. The anthology then pivots to experiences growing
up Arab American in Detroit and Dearborn, capturing the cultural
vibrancy of urban neighborhoods and dramatizing the complexity of
what it means to be Arab, particularly from the vantage point of
biracial writers. Included in these works is a fearless account of
domestic and sexual abuse and a story of a woman who comes to terms
with her queer identity in a community that is not entirely
accepting. The volume also includes photographs from award-winning
artist Rania Matar that present heterogenous images of Arab
American women set against the arresting backdrop of Detroit. The
anthology concludes with explorations of political activism dating
back to the 1960s and Dearborn's shifting demographic landscape.
Hadha Baladuna will shed light on the shifting position of Arab
Americans in an era of escalating tension between the United States
and the Arab region.
