YUMI STYNES worked as a cook before going into broadcasting, and SIMON DAVIS has edited literally hundreds of cookbooks in his career in food publishing. They met while working on one of Yumi's cookbooks and discovered they share an insatiable desire to nail the never-ending task of feeding a family (between them, they have a LOT of kids). Inside their heads is an infinite Rolodex of recipes, plus endless hints and hacks for getting the most out of a meal without cracking the shits. So they decided to join forces and launched a podcast to solve the daily dilemma of what to cook for dinner. Since its launch, the 5 Minute Food Fix has consistently been among the most downloaded food podcasts in the country, and has spawned a vast collection of fans who tune in religiously for dinner inspiration. This book pulls together the best hits from the pod and some never-before-seen recipes, all of which have been tested - and re-tested - on the world's most unforgiving critics, and cooked under the most trying circumstances (during life or whatever). Yumi and Simon aren't here to waste your time, so every recipe has been developed to be quick, fuss-free and most importantly, delicious. You need this book if ... * you're constantly being asked 'What's for dinner?' and your answer is a despairing shrug * you're exhausted by dinnertime and your repertoire of meals is nightmarishly repetitive * you love food and want to be a better cook but, like, within the bounds of reality * you want to save money, eat less takeaway and generally be a better human * you might not be nailing life but could possibly nail an easy and delicious dinner.

1763-1764 shows a relentlessly satirical Voltaire whether he is goading the Le Franc de Pompignan brothers ("Writings on Jean-Jacques Le Franc de Pompignan", "Instruction pastorale de l'humble eveque d'Aletopolis", and "Letters from a quaker"), or mocking Omer de Fleury for his stance on inoculation ("Omer de Fleury etant entre, ont dit"). In "Voltaire and the tithes of Ferney", there is further evidence of his continued involvement with local and national politics on the subject of taxes, while simultaneously penning one of his early essays in biblical criticism, his "Catechisme de l'honnete homme".
"Cold war" was a term coined in 1945 by left-leaning British writer George Orwell to predict how powers made unconquerable by having nuclear weapons would conduct future relations. It was popularized in 1947 by American journalist Walter Lippmann amid mounting tensions between the erstwhile World War II Allies - the capitalist democracies - the United States of America and Britain - versus the Soviet Union, a communist dictatorship. As the grand alliance of the "Big Three" they had defeated Nazi Germany, its satellites and Japan in World War II but became rivals who split the world into an American-led Western "bloc" and Soviet-led Eastern "bloc." Both were secured from direct attack by arraying ever-greater nuclear and conventional forces against the other while seeking global supremacy by other means. The 45-year Cold War lasted until the Soviet Union collapsed between 1989 and 1991. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Cold War contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 400 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, crucial countries and peripheral conflicts, the increasingly lethal weapons systems, and the various political and military strategies. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about this crucial period in history.
It has been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied cult survivor Avril Eason back to the village of Harrowvale, the site of her terrifying experiences at the hands of Jasper Hillman's Thistlebone worshippers, a crazed occult group that believed in an ancient woodland deity. Intended as a cathartic experience, both women were changed forever by what they were confronted with. Now, in the process of researching a book on the Thistlebone legend, Seema believes much of it centres around one man - Malcolm Kinniburgh.
This highly praised book captures the essence and the madness of the "balance of terror" that was the Cold War. Describing an extensive period and much of the globe, The A to Z of the Cold War presents a year-by-year chronology, an introductory essay, and hundreds of entries on civilian and military leaders, central issues and peripheral conflicts, crucial countries and their allies or foes, the contending alliances and the non-aligned, deterrence and detente, the increasingly lethal weapons systems, and the various political and military strategies. While both authors are specialists in American foreign policy and diplomacy, Smith has a particular interest in United States relations with Latin America and Davis in Anglo-American relations. This broader focus is helpful, because it enables the authors to have a broader view of the Cold War, and having studied and lived in Great Britain, they view events from a more neutral perspective. This, and a conscious effort to maintain a scholarly balance, enhances the objectivity of this volume. Smith and Davis have produced an easy-to-use reference tool for both the history scholar and student.
Britain, 2019. The secluded rural village of Harrowvale holds a dark past-that years earlier, on a farm bordering the vast tracts of woodland, it hosted a cult that was seeking to escape civilisation and find purity in the old ways, namely worshipping an ancient deity called Thistlebone. Led by the charismatic Jasper Hillman, their pagan beliefs grew ever more radical to the point where they held the young Avril Eason captive with the intention of sacrificing her. But Avril escaped...
Even by the hyperactive standards of Voltaire, 1768 was to prove a remarkable year and this volume is distinguished by a multiplicity of works. His interest in eastern Europe manifested itself in the "Discours aux confederes catholiques", he was anxious to smooth over matters concerning the alleged thefts of manuscripts by La Harpe through the "Declaration", and was delighted when a ship was named after him, publicising the event by composing the "Epitre a mon vaisseau". His playful practice of attributing his works to pseudonymous authors was joyously continued ("Instruction du gardien des capucins de Raguse", "Lettre de l'archeveque de Cantorbery"), and revenge was enacted on the author of the "Compere Matthieu", a work attributed to Voltaire in 1766. The reverberations of the Belisaire affair of 1767 are reflected in a number of texts: the "Declaration", the "Lettre de l'archeveque de Cantorbery", "La Prophetie de la Sorbonne", "Les Trois empereurs en Sorbonne", "Le Sermon preche a Bale" and the "Epitre ecrite de Constantinople". Personal scores are settled with La Bletterie and with a new target in "Le Pyrrhonisme de l'histoire", Chiniac de la Bastide; the basis of the authority of Rome and the Scriptures is characteristically undermined in "Les Droits des hommes", the "Epitre ecrite de Constantinople" and the "Instruction du gardien des capucins de Raguse"; and the doctrines of Christianity are likewise ridiculed in the scathing dialogue of the "Relation du bannissement des Jesuites de la Chine". In some respects, however, 1768 can be regarded as a year of relative optimism, with Voltaire's belief, perhaps, that the philosophic cause was gaining ground.
Albion, in a time of legend. Celtic warrior SL AINE united the tribes of the Earth Goddess Danu and became the first High King of Ireland, before returning to being a wanderer. Now, having journeyed to the Isle of Monadh to rescue Sinead from the Drune Lords, he's discovered that they have been experimenting on their own creations - including the brutal, superhuman Primordial, whom Slaine has just learnt is his old friend Gort...
Large-scale data loss and data privacy compliance breaches continue to make headline news, highlighting the need for stringent data protection policies, especially when personal or commercially sensitive information is at stake. While regulations and legislation exist to address these issues, how organisations can best tailor their compliance approaches to their own operational circumstances has remained an open question. The focus of this book is on operationalising a truly risk-based approach to data protection and compliance, beyond just emphasis on regulatory frameworks and legalistic compliance.
