Edgar Silveira, famed Goan food photographer, wished to know if there was any old Goan cook book. Hence this picture of a book which I found in our kitchen collection. "The Goan Cook's Guide vo Goan Cuzneracho Sangat", was written by Pedro Damiao Dias. BX Furtado & Sons, Bombay, the pioneering Goan book sellers in Bombay, had published as their fourth edition - revised and enlarged - in 1937. "The Goan Cook's Guide" is a hardbound book in 399 pp including the index. The book has been written in Konkani, mother-tongue of Goans. In its Foreword, we find: "Hem novem edicao jem ami choutie pautim xaplam, 1937 vorsa, galun 50-ec vhoir novim dissanchi reciptam, zim toiar keleant, (1) Senhor Benjamin Pereira-anem (Sangolda, Goa), Chefe de Cusine, Bombay Club, and (2) Senhor L.S. de Mello (Nerul, Goa), Chefe de Cusine, Brandon's Restaurant, G.I.P.

This antique hand-painted document box, circa late 18th to early 19th Century, might have been part of a dowry. It ended up back where it came from, at the Allis Bushnell House. It was originally Chloe Scranton’s (Bushnell) box. We have a picture of her at flic.kr/p/SbCgS5.

While cleaning out our garage a few weeks ago, I came across this yellow legal pad full of my handwritten study notes for the Ohio bar examination in February, 1993. The bar examination is an instrument of cruel and diabolical torture which, in my view, should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention, and probably other international treaties and conventions as well. I have sat for two such examinations, with successful results both times. (The other was in Utah in July, 1983.) I spent about 700 hours studying for the Ohio exam, and ended up with one of the highest scores among the 500-plus applicants who took it when I did, but that didn't matter; I wouldn't have cared if I had a much lower score, as long as I passed the thing.
I no longer practice law, having discovered the hard way that I hated the practice even more than I did the preparation for it; and while I don't rule out the possibility of taking the Arizona exam at some point, I think that is highly unlikely. I have no intention of ever practicing again here or anywhere else, and at age 53, I just don't think I have a third bar exam in me at this point.
This particular section of my notes covered Federal income taxation, which was a topic on the Ohio exam but not Utah's. Although not quite as terrifying as I had intended it to be, the death's-head emblem near the upper left-hand corner expresses my dread of this particular subject. I briefly entertained fantasies about becoming a tax attorney -- until I took a tax class in law school and quickly concluded that whatever my future entailed, it would not center around this complex and arcane subject.

One of the theories to debate why Dumbledore trusted Snape. Friends and I debating online here in the US and in Scotland, awaiting the final book. Its a mystery, a big puzzle and there is nothing like a good puzzle.
I believe Snape is the ultimate 'poker' player. He has kept his cards close and has really not belied his true persona yet.

I call this lettering style antique - it's my own creation derived from 'Batarde' calligraphy... a mixture of gothic and italics... but I wasn't sure if many brides would choose 'Batarde' to go on their wedding invitations so I changed the name!
This is a business partnership agreement between three partners, Ali Akbar and Abdolkhalegh, originally from Yazd, Persia and Mohammad Taghi originally from Tabriz, Persia. It was inked on Sunday December 9, 1906, just four months after the victory of Iranian Constitutional Revolution and about the same time that the first parliamentary elections took place in Iran (Persia). They agreed to share their capital and do business with it for 21 years.
It turned out that this partnership got very successful later on, in such a way that they where known in Bazaar as "the Partners" ( i.e. Shoraka in Persian). More than twenty years after this agreement, when it was necessary for citizens of Persia to opt a family name, two of them, namely Ali Akbar and Abdolkhalegh, chose Shoraka (i.e. partners) and the third one, Mohammad Taghi, chose Ghafouri, as their family names. This is a picture of three of their children with three of their grandchildren.
This was not just a business partnership. Most of the children and some of the grandchildren of these three partners married each other later. These boys are grand-grandsons, and this boy is grand-grand-grandson of all three.
This document was kept by the following throughout its hundred-year long history.
1906 – 1931 by Mohammad Taghi Ghafouri (one of the Partners)
1931 – 1975 by Abolfeiz Ghafouri (son of Mohammad Taghi)
1975 – 1987 by Nosrat Zaman Shoraka (wife of Abolfeiz Ghafouri)
1987 – 1994 by Houshang Ghafouri (son of Abolfeiz and the little boy in this picture)
1994 – 1997 by She (daughter of Abolfeiz Ghafouri)

این سند عقد شراکتی است که در روز یکشنبه 22 شوال 1324 هجری قمری برابر با 17 آذر 1285 هجری شمسی، حدود چهار ماه پس از پیروزی انقلاب مشروطیت، و تقریباً همزمان با برگزاری نخستین دوره انتخابات مجلس شورای ملی منعقد گردیده است.
متن سند:
بعد از توکل بجناب احدیت جل شانه العزیز و توسل بحضرت ختمی مرتبت و ائمه معصومین صلواه الله علیهم اجمعین عقد شراکت شرعیه منعقد گردید فیمابین عالیشانان رفیع مکانان عزت و سعادتنشانان آقای کربلائی علیاکبر خلفالصّدق آقای ملاحسین بزاز یزدی و کهف الحاج حاجی عبدالخالق ولد مرحوم حاج حسن ابن مرحوم حاجی رمضان یزدی و آقای مشهدی محمدتقی ولد مرحوم حاجی کاظم تبریزی بسرمایه معلوم مبلغ هفت هزار و یکصد تومان رایج [...] که مساوی هفتاد و یک هزار ریال معمولی رایج [...] باشد که سرمایه هر یک از قرار ذیل است
سرمایه آقای کربلائی علیاکبر سههزار و چهارصد تومان
سرمایه حاجی عبدالخالق یکهزار و هشتصد و پنجاه تومان
سرمایه آقای مشهدی محمدتقی یکهزار و هشتصد و پنجاه تومان
و تمامی سرمایهها را مخلوط و ممزوج بیکدیگر نمودند و در تصرف هر سه میباشد و در [...] عقد لازم شرکاء مرقوم و ملتزم و متعهد شرعی شدند و برخود لازم نمودند از حالتحریر الی مدت بیست و یک سال کامل که در بین مدت [...] از قرار ذیل معمول دارند و تخلّف نورزند و تمامی سرمایه را سرمایه و مالالتجاره خودشان قرار دهند و در بین مدت [...] باتفاق و صلاحدید یکدیگر مشغول تجارت و دادوستد و ارسل و مرسول بشوند و هرگونه اجناس و مالالتجاره که صلاح بدانند خرید و فروش نمایند و آنچه جناب واهبالعطایا در بین مدت [...] از خرید و فروش منافع کرامت فرماید بقرار ذیل قسمت نمایند هر تومان از منافع را چهار هزار و سیصد و بیست و پنج دینار رایج آنرا آقای کربلائی علیاکبر [...] خود ببرد و پنج هزار و ششصد و هفتاد و پنج دینار دیگر از هر تومان از منافع و مداخل را حاجی عبدالخالق و آقای مشهدی محمدتقی بالمناصفه قسمت نمایند و ببرند و هرگاه خدای نخواسته ضرر و خسارتی وارد شود نیز بقرار مسطور متحمل شوند و آنچه شرکاء برداشت کنند باید کمافیالسابق که شراکت داشتهاند بالسویه و مطابق برداشت نمایند و از مشورت و صلاحدید یکدیگر بیرون نروند و در همه احوال خدای خودشانرا حاضر و ناظر دانسته خیانت بیکدیگر نکنند و صیغه شرعیه مراتب [...] جاری و واقع گردید فی ثانی عشرین شوال المکرم اربع و عشرین و ثلاثمائه بعد الالف 1324
سالها بعد این سه تن در بازار به نام شرکاء معروف گردیدند و حدود بیست سال بعد، که انتخاب نام خانوادگی الزامی گردید، دو تن از آنان یعنی علیاکبر و عبدالخالق نام خانوادگی شرکاء را برای خود انتخاب نمودند و نفر سوم، محمدتقی، با استفاده از قرآن، نام خانوادگی غفوری را برای خود برگزید.
یکی از مصنوعاتی که آنها در تجارت آن نقش مهمی داشتند نوعی پارچه نخی اما نسبتا ضخیم و بادوام به نام دبیت بود. بعدها نام یکی از این شرکاء، حاج علیاکبر، بر نوع مرغوب آن ماندگار گردید و همچنان در سراسر ایران دبیت اعلاء به نام دبیت حاج علیاکبری یا دبیت علیاکبری شناخته میشود.

Waterlogging has occurred in various parts of Chittagong due to continuous heavy rain, waterlogging has occurred on various roads of Chittagong city due to heavy rain. It has caused severe traffic jam on the road. Due to flooding, almost half of the city's roads and streets are submerged in water. One of the causes of this water pollution is plastic polythene cokesheets and man-made waste, such as many shops selling one-time cups and polythene packaging products. After using that product, as there are no bins in the shops, the packaging is thrown directly by the shopkeepers and common people into the streets or drains. As these packaging products are non-biodegradable, they accumulate in drains and increase the intensity of waterlogging.
