You may not think that yeast extract has anything to do with beer, well you would be wrong. Yeast extract is made from a by-product of beer production, have you guessed yet, yes it's yeast. Many people love yeast extract, just as many do not, I am with those that do.

Buckingham Palace
The Coffin bearing The late Queen was borne in State from Buckingham Palace this afternoon on a Gun Carriage of The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery, flanked by the Escort Party found by 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, to travel to the Palace of Westminster to Lie-in-State in Westminster Hall.
The Coffin was followed by The King, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Sussex, The Duke of York, The Earl of Wessex, The Princess Royal, Mr Peter Phillips, The Duke of Gloucester, The Earl of Snowdon and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.
Other Members of the Royal Family travelled separately.

At the stroke of 2:22pm this afternoon, Her Majesty The Queen’s coffin was carried in procession on a gun carriage of The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where she will lie in state for four days ahead of her State Funeral on Monday 19 September 2022.
Before the procession set off, dismounted detachments of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment formed up on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace, as a Guard of Honour formed from troops of 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, with its State Colour draped, waited outside in the Queen’s Gardens.
The carriage, known as the George Gun Carriage and which carried King George VI’s coffin, was positioned in the Buckingham Palace Quadrangle with an escort party and a bearer party formed by The Queen’s Company 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.
As the Commanding Officer of the Household Division, Major General Chris Ghika and his staff took up their positions in front of the gun carriage, the bearer party carried Her Majesty’s coffin from within Buckingham Palace to be placed on the gun carriage.
Leaving Buckingham Palace for the last time
At 2:22pm on the dot, guns were fired from Hyde Park by The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery - one round every minute for the duration of the procession, meaning 38 rounds were fired. Simultaneously, Garrison Sergeant Major, Headquarters London District, WO1 Andrew Stokes, stepped off the procession.
Leading the procession out of Buckingham Palace and along The Mall was the dismounted detachment of The Life Guards of the Household Cavalry of more than 50 soldiers.
Following them were four key personnel: Silver Stick in Waiting Colonel Mark Berry (former Life Guards); Field Officer in Brigade Waiting, Lieutenant Colonel Gareth Light, Irish Guards; Brigade Major Household Division, Lieutenant Colonel James Shaw, Grenadier Guards and Aide-de-Camp to Major General Commanding the Household Division, Captain Jamie Roy.
Flanking the gun carriage were pall bearers, who had all been service equerries to The Queen, and the escort party and the bearer party drawn from The Queen’s Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.
Bringing up the rear of the procession, following His Majesty The King and members of the Royal Family, was a Blues and Royals marching detachment from The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
The procession marched at a pace of 75 steps per minute, which is specifically reserved for funerals and ensures it keeps time with the slow pace of the gun carriage. Ordinarily troops would either do a slow march of 60 beats per minute, or a quick march of 110 beats per minute.
Arrival at Westminster Hall in the grounds of the Palace of Westminster
As Her Majesty arrived in Westminster, the coffin was carried in procession by a bearer party of The Queen’s Company, 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards from the gun carriage and placed on a raised platform, known as a catafalque, in Westminster Hall.
After a short service, the captain of The Queen’s Company 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, assisted by a senior sergeant, laid The Queen’s Company Colour, the royal standard of the regiment, on the steps of the catafalque at the south end.
Lying In State and the Vigil
A continuous vigil will be kept by His Majesty’s Body Guard of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, assisted at times by The King’s Body Guard for Scotland (The Royal Company of Archers), The King’s Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard, assisted by The Body of Yeomen Warders of HM Tower of London, and by units of the Household Division.
Those units will include: The Household Cavalry, the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream Guards, the Scots Guards, the Irish Guards and the Welsh Guards. Each period of 24 hours will be divided into four watches. Except for the first and last, each of the 20 watches will last for 6 hours. Within each watch, a Vigil will last for 20 minutes.
More than 320 military personnel from all three services took part in this ceremonial activity, including 170 military personnel from The Household Division in the procession.
The Gun Carriage
The gun carriage is known as the George Gun Carriage and carried King George VI’s coffin from Sandringham Church to Wolferton Station in February 1952. It was also used in the funeral of The Queen Mother in 2002.
Royal Salutes
The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery has six 13-pounder quick-fire guns, built between 1913 and 1918, all of which have seen active service in the First and Second World Wars. They are used regularly for royal salutes in Hyde Park, Green Park or Windsor Great Park for State Occasions and to mark royal anniversaries and royal birthdays. Each gun and limber weighs 1.5 tons and, with the team, is approximately 54 feet long.

On arrival in the Ashton in Makerfield area, the troops of the 79th Infantry Division were billeted as follows:
At Garswood Park: 310 Field Artillery Battalion (HQ, HQ Battery, Batteries A-C, Medical Detachment, Service Battery); 313 Infantry Regiment (HQ, HQ Company, 2 Battalion (HQ, HQ Company, Companies E-H), 3 Battalion (HQ, HQ Company, Companies I-M), Medical Detachment, Service Co)***.
At Golborne Park: 311 Field Artillery Battalion (HQ, HQ Battery, Batteries A-C, Medical Detachment, Service Battery); 314 Infantry Regiment (HQ, HQ Company, 1 Battalion (HQ, HQ Company, Companies A-D), 2 Battalion (HQ, HQ Company, Companies E-H), Service Company)
*Local place-names are frequently misspelled in the American documents; thus Golborne is rendered as “Goulborne” or “Goldborne”, Ashton in Makerfield becomes “Ashton in Makersfield” etc. For the most part I have left these uncorrected in my commentaries on the photographs in this set.
**Due to limited space at both Ashton locations, part of the 314th Infantry Regiment was billeted at Tatton Park, Cheshire, whilst the 313th Infantry was split between Garswood Park and Marbury Hall, Cheshire.
***Although the lists prepared by Lt. Col. Philip Grinton for The D Day Museum place these units of the 313th Infantry Regiment at Golborne Park, there is overwhelming evidence in the form of regimental histories, other official documents and personal accounts that they were in fact at Garswood.
And on the second day, the extracts began to get some color. Especially the cinnamon and star anise.

The Northumbrian royal dynasty had ended with the death of Osric in 729 AD and the succession of Ceolwulf, the younger brother of the usurper Cenred and the king to whom Bede dedicated his Ecclesiastical History of the English People in 731 AD in which he recorded the death of Osric as the penultimate entry.
“In the year 729, comets appeared; the holy Egbert departed; and Osric died.”
Ceolwulf ruled until 737 AD when he abdicated to become a monk. He was succeeded by Eadbert, brother of Ecgbert, who became the first Archbishop of York in 735 AD. Eadbert ruled, with greater military competence than Ceolwulf, until 758 AD when he also abdicated to enter a religious life at the Abbey on York. Eadbert was engaged in warfare against Mercia and the Pictish kingdoms for much of his reign, and in 740 AD he executed Eanwine, the son of a former king of Northumbria called Eadwulf (ruled 704-5 AD). Eanwine was probably working with the Mercians against Eadbert, who was decisive and brutal against opposition. In 750 AD he faced another claimant to his throne called Offa, and defeated him. Offa fled to Lindisfarne to claim sanctuary. Eadbert did not want to offend the Church by forcibly removing Offa, so he starved him out instead, and imprisoned the Bishop of Hexham who was probably a supporter of Offa. The story of Offa is told by Simeon of Durham:
“During the reign of Eadbert, who (as we have already mentioned) succeeded Ceolwulf, the bishopric of the church of Lindisfame was held by Cynewulf for some considerable length of time, but under many annoyances and misfortunes. One of the royal family, named Offa, in order to escape from the persecutions of his enemies, fled to the body of St. Cuthbert, but having been forcibly dragged away from it, he was wickedly put to death. Hereupon, king Eadbert highly displeased laid hold upon bishop Cynewulf, and commanded him to be imprisoned in Bebbanburch, and in the meantime the bishopric of Lindisfarne was administered by Friothubert, bishop of Hexham, until the king becoming appeased released Cynewulf from his confinement, and permitted him to return to his church.”
Eadbert was also supposedly successful in his international relations, and corresponded with King Pepin of Francia, who sent him costly gifts.
Oswulf was Eadbert’s son, and succeeded his father when he abdicated. However, his hold on the throne was short-lived and he was murdered within a year, by members of his household who were probably related to Eanwine, or as Simeon puts it “wickedly slain by his domestics.”
Æþelwold “Moll” was elected within a couple of weeks to succeed him, although his claim on the throne is not clear and his reign was also disastrous and so the century of turmoil in Northumbria began.
12th January is celebrated as the Feast Day of Benedict Biscop.
Dictionary of National Biography entry by William Richard Wood Stephens 1885.
"BENEDICT BISCOP (628?–690), also called Biscop Baducing (Eddius, Vita Wilfridi c. 3), founder of monasteries at Wearmouth and Jarrow, was an Angle of noble birth (Beda, v. 19, and Vita Abbat. i.), possibly of the royal race of the Lindisfari (Flor. Worc. Mon. Hist. Brit. 631 ). He became a 'minister' or thegn of Oswiu, king of Northumbria, who bestowed land upon him. But in 653, being then about twenty-five, he resolved to abandon the world and set out for Rome. At Canterbury he fell in with Wilfrith, who was about six years younger than himself and desired to visit Rome. The two travelled together as far as Lyons, where Wilfrith tarried, and Benedict went on to Rome. After sojourning some years there he returned to Northumbria, where he strove to introduce the Roman system of ecclesiastical life. About 665 he started on a second visit to Rome. Alchfrith, the son of king Oswiu, wished to accompany him, but was forbidden by his father (Beda, V, Abb. c. 2). After sending some months in Rome, Benedict retired for two years to the monastery of Lerins (an island off the south coast of Gaul), where he became a monk, and then returned to Rome in 667, just when Wighard arrived to be consecrated archbishop of Canterbury. Wighard, however, died very soon, and Theodore of Tarsus was elected and consecrated in his stead March 668. The pope, Vitalian, appointed Benedict to conduct Theodore to Canterbury, which they reached at the end of May 669. Archbishop Theodore made him abbot of St. Peter's in Canterbury, over which he presided for two years, and then made a third visit to Rome for the purpose of buying books, of which he collected a large number, partly in Rome, partly at Vienne. In 672 he returned to England, intending to visit his friend Cenwealh, king of the West Saxons ; but hearing that he was dead, he made for Northumbria, where Ecgfrith, the son of Oswiu, had become king, He set about zealously instructing his countrymen in the learning and religious discipline in which he had himself been trained. Ecgfrith warmly aided him in his work, and gave him seventy hides of land out of his own demesne near the mouth of the river Wear on the north side, where, by Ecgfrith's orders, he began building the monastery of St. Peter's in 674 (Bed. Vit Abbat. c. 3-4). The structure was fashioned in what was called the 'Roman' style, then prevalent throughout Western Europe, being a provincial adaptation of the old classical Roman forms. Benedict himself visited Gaul in order to engage skilled masons and glassmakers, the art of glazing windows being then unknown in England (Bed. Vit, Abb, c. 5). The work was pushed on with such diligence, that within a year from its foundation mass was celebrated within the walls of the church. Having settled the constitution of his house, he paid a fourth visit to Rome in 678, in order to procure more books, besides vessels, vestments, images, and pictures, of which he brought back a large store. He also obtained the services of John, the archchanter of St. Peter's and abbot of St. Martin at Rome, who returned with him to instruct his monks in music and ritual according to the Roman use. But what he deemed most valuable of all was a letter from the pope Agatho, granted with the full consent of king Ecgfrith, exempting his monastery from all external control. The king soon afterwards granted 40 hides of land for the erection of a sister monastery which Benedict established at Jarrow and dedicated to St. Paul. Here he placed seventeen monks in 682 under Ceolfrith as their abbot, who had energetically assisted him from the beginning in founding the other monastery, and had visited Rome. He himself presided over the elder house at Wearmouth, adopting his cousin Eosterwine as a colleague. Having thus settled both monasteries, he visited Rome for the fifth time, and procured a large collection of books, vestments, and pictures for Jarrow. On his return (about 687) he found that king Ecgfrith had been slain in battle (685), and that Eosterwine and a large number of his monks had died of a pestilence. Ceolfrith and the other monks had elected Sigfrith to take the place of Eosterwine. Benedict confirmed their choice, and bought three acres of land on the south side of the Wear from king Aldfrith (successor to Ecgfrith) [q. v.], for which he gave two silk pallia of splendid workmanship which he had brought from Rome ({sc|Beda}}, V. Abb. c. 7, 8). Soon after this Benedict's health broke down, and for the last three years of his life he was paralysed in the lower limbs. Abbot Sigfrith also gradually wasted away from some internal disease. Shortly before his death in 689 he was carried to the bedside of Benedict for a final interview, who then, with the consent of the monks, appointed Ceolfrith abbot of both houses. Benedict's mind, however, continued to be clear and vigorous to the end, and the last days of his life were spent in exhorting the brethren to hold fast to the pure Benedictine rule which he had taught tnhm, having himself visited seventeen continental monusteries; to preserve the large and costly library which he had procured for them with so much pains, and in all future elections of abbots to take care to choose the fittest man without any regard to the claims of kindred or high birth. During his sleepless nights the brethren read the Bible to him in turns, and at the hours of prayer by day and night he continued to join, as well as he was able, in the recitation of the psalms. He died on 12 Jan. 690 as the monks were repeating the 83rd Psalm ('Deus, quis similis erit tibi ?'), in the sixteenth year after the foundation of the first monastery, and (about) the sixty-second year of his age. He was buried in the church of St. Peter at Wearmouth. In the 10th cent., 964, Æthelwold, bishop of Winchester, bought his bones at a great price, and conveved them to his new abbey of Thorney. Benedict was undoubtedly a man of pure and lofty character, animated by the warmest zeal for the promotion of piety and learning, unalloyed, so far as we can see, by the spirit of ambition and self-assertion which are too conspicuous in his friend Wilfrith [see Wilfrith]. He was thus a great benefactor to his own age and country, and all subsequent ages owe him a debt of gratitude for founding the monastery which was the home of the saint and historian, the Venerable Bede.

The popularity of green coffee bean extract touched new heights after it featured in Dr Oz's show in 2012. What it is, its health benefits and how it works for weight loss.
Known for his insatiable hunger and ability to extract belly-rubs from strangers, Tryst, the Great Corgi Ambassador of Woofdom, passed away on June 18th, 2011 after a bout with an aggressive brain tumor.
Ever an adventure dog, Tryst enjoyed hiking, swimming, and parties. During his urban hipster days in San Francisco, he was known as an avid MUNI rider, and developed a protocol for sticking his tongue into people’s pitchers of beer at the Park Chalet. Tryst retired from the urban life in 2008 to enjoy his golden years in the scenic Napa Valley.
Tryst’s charitable activities included participation in the annual SF AIDS Walk as the mascot of the Gap Inc. booth and service as an agility mentor at the SFSPCA. He was a founding member of the San Francisco Corgi Collective, and most recently held the position of Senior Corgi at the L---/B--- residence. Despite his successful career, Tryst was continuously frustrated by the endemic lack of unlimited food and lobbied for corgis to be placed in charge of the national food supply. His sound bites on this subject included, “You can food anything if you just eat it,” and “Eat first, ask questions later.”
As a result of his strong work ethic, natural talent, and huge tongue, Tryst excelled in an elusive trifecta of skills: athleticism, eating, AND good behavior. Notable achievements included Champion - Level 3 in CPE Agility, first runner-up in the “My Corgi Will Eat That” 2001 competition, and the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen award.
Tryst commanded a large and loyal following. “He has always had more friends than I have,” said Tricia, one of his humans. He will be remembered by the vast volume of fur that he left behind in homes and cars. As an example of Tryst’s ability to inspire conversion, one prominent Washington DC attorney reported, “I did not really like dogs as an adult before Tryst. But he won me over with his tireless harassment and shameless mooching. Now I love dogs and always walk up to pet them. May the hand of G-d rub his belly for all eternity.” Asked about Tryst’s popularity among canines, his brother Radar simply said, “Aaa-roo!!!”
