lodibet real casino games downloadable content DALLAS – If you attended a high school dance at any point in the 1980s, you no doubt heard “Chicago” lead singer Peter Cetera croon these words: “Everybody needs a little time away, I heard her say, from each other...” The members of the Minnesota Wild seem to genuinely enjoy each other’s company, and their willingness to work together for the good of the order shows in their 21 wins thus far, and their flirtation with the top spot in the Western Conference standings. But following their 4-3 win over Chicago (the Blackhawks, not the band) on Monday, the NHL mandates that every team take a three-day break for Christmas. At risk of the hefty fine from the league, teams cannot get together for practice, nor may they travel to road games until the morning of Friday, Dec. 27. That means the Wild were gameday arrivals in North Texas for their Friday evening meeting with the Stars. And as much hassle as that may be, most Wild players and coaches were eager for the time off by the time the final horn sounded on Monday. “The way I see it is I think this is a break at a key time for us, and I give the players a lot of credit. We’ve been going at max capacity and really dialed in from training camp till now and there’s been way more success than there has been failure,” coach John Hynes said, after his team snapped a four-game skid with the win over the Blackhawks. “But I also think that guys have really pushed, and I think guys have produced at certain times. I think it’s important for our group now to be able to get away from it for a few days, come off a win in a game that we played well, and then now it’s come back and we just reset and get moving forward.” As has been the case for much of this injury-riddled season to date, the biggest question about moving forward is which players it will involve. For example, top-line center Joel Eriksson Ek, whose big body and noteworthy skill have been missed since a lower-body injury in early December, looked to be inching closer to a return during the team’s last pre-Christmas practice. Getting some rest before facing a tough team like Dallas on the road is one positive factor, the Wild hope. Another pick-me-up was getting the victory by whatever means necessary versus Chicago, to end a season-worst losing streak. “It’s nice to go into the break with a win, but the games before, we’re not happy with,” Wild captain Jared Spurgeon admitted. “It’s tough throughout the year to be at 100 (percent) mentally and physically, so to have three days at this point, it’s big for us to sort of just relax, get away from it, hang with family friends and do something a little different.” And once they get back on the ice in Dallas, they plan to get back to more of the theme of the early season – namely getting contributions from throughout the lineup and competing for the lead in the Central Division. “I’m pretty convinced that after the break we come back then we get set for another while,” Hynes said, noting their next extended time off comes after Minnesota hosts the New York Islanders on Feb. 8. “You got Christmas basically until the 4 Nations break and that’s when we can re-plug in and get guys dialed in, get the team dialed in.”Missing dog returned to family home and rang the doorbell WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Athena, a 4-year-old German Shepherd and Husky mix, escaped her home in Green Cove Springs, Florida, on Dec. 15, prompting a search among the community and nearby towns for her. Yet on Christmas Eve, Athena appeared at the family's front door ringing on their doorbell — ending a search after more than a week. Her owner, Brooke Comer, said Athena's escape brought multiple communities in her town and neighboring towns to search for her dog, and that Athena's escape was about a 20-mile roundtrip near the train tracks. Sinkhole in New Jersey keeps I-80 closed after a section collapses into an abandoned mine WHARTON, N.J. (AP) — Road crews are repairing Interstate 80 in northern New Jersey after a sinkhole from an abandoned mine shut down the eastbound lanes. The state’s transportation department says it remains unknown when those lanes will reopen. The hole opened up along the highway’s right shoulder Thursday morning, and the guardrail was still hanging suspended across the gaping 40-foot-wide hole on Friday. Drivers are currently having to detour near Wharton, about 40 miles west of New York City. The New Jersey Department of Transportation said crews will work around the clock to the repair the roadway. Customs agents seize 22,000 fake Pennsylvania vehicle inspection stickers shipped from Israel HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency says it seized more than 20,000 counterfeit Pennsylvania vehicle inspection stickers that were shipped from Israel to an address in Philadelphia. The agency said that customs officers found the stickers in two different shipments that arrived on different days, Nov. 26 and Dec. 9. The agency didn't say in a Thursday statement who sent the stickers, who was to receive them and what purpose the stickers were going to serve. The agency said it made no arrests. Pennsylvania requires that motor vehicles be inspected annually to ensure they meet minimum mechanical, safety and emissions standards. One owl rescued by a Minnesota woman is euthanized; efforts to save the other continue ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — One of the two owls rescued by a Minnesota woman in a story that went viral this week has died, but the other is still getting medical care. Wildwoods Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Duluth said in a Facebook post Thursday that the snowy owl rescued by Annabell Whelan had internal injuries, a broken wing and a broken leg, and had to be euthanized. The great gray owl also rescued by Whelan suffered broken bones and large soft tissue wounds. Wildwoods says the injuries are severe and veterinarians are doing everything they can to “give the bird a chance at recovery.” Whelan happened to find both injured owls at different places Monday. 2 Florida tourist spots halt drones in shows following a separate accident that injured a boy ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A theme park resort and a huge hotel in central Florida either have stopped using drones or canceled their drone-based shows after several drones collided and fell from the sky during a separate holiday celebration in downtown Orlando. The accident last weekend injured a boy who required surgery. Universal Orlando said this week that it was pausing the drone component of its “CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular” show, while Orlando World Center Marriott posted that it was canceling its scheduled drone shows during the holiday week. The halt in using drones follows last Saturday’s accident at a holiday show at Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando. NASA's Parker Solar Probe survives close brush with the sun's scorching surface NEW YORK (AP) — NASA has confirmed that a spacecraft has made the closest approach to the sun. Earlier this week, the Parker Solar Probe passed within a mere 3.8 million miles of the sun. Space agency officials received an all-clear message Thursday night confirming Parker survived the journey. The spacecraft was launched in 2018 to get a close-up look at the sun. It'll continue circling the sun at this distance until at least September. Scientists hope to better understand what drives the solar wind and why the sun's outer atmosphere iis so much hotter than its surface. 'Morrison Hotel' made famous by The Doors goes up in flames in LA The former Morrison Hotel, which was famously on the cover of a 1970 album by The Doors, has been significantly damaged by a fire in downtown Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Fire Department says the four-story building burned for nearly two hours Thursday. More than 100 firefighters helped bring the fire under control. The building had been vacant for more than a decade but several people who were inside at the time escaped without injuries. The Morrison Hotel was featured on the album’s cover that showed legendary frontman Jim Morrison in the middle. That album was viewed as a comeback for The Doors. Another jackpot surpasses $1 billion. Is this the new normal? Remember this moment because it probably won’t last: A U.S. lottery jackpot is projected to soar above $1 billion, and that's still a big deal. Friday’s Mega Millions drawing is worth an estimated $1.15 billion. The prize has evoked headlines across the country, despite the nation's top 10 jackpots already having boasted billion-dollar payouts. Jonathan Cohen is the author of the book “For a Dollar and a Dream: State Lotteries in Modern America.” He says he expects jackpots to continue to grow in size. Larger payouts attract more media attention, increase ticket sales and bring in new players. Suzuki Motor former boss Osamu Suzuki, who turned the minicar maker into a global player, dies at 94 TOKYO (AP) — Osamu Suzuki, the charismatic former boss of Japanese mini-vehicle maker Suzuki Motor Corp., has died. He was 94. Suzuki was known for his candid remarks and friendliness, calling himself an "old guy from a small to mid-size company.” He became CEO of Suzuki in 1978 and helped turn the company into a global brand name. It was the first Japanese automaker to start local production in India and has had tie-ups with industry leaders like General Motors and Volkswagen. It is working with Toyota on developing self-driving vehicles. The company said Suzuki died Wednesday of malignant lymphoma. Cowboys shutting down CeeDee Lamb with 2 games to go over receiver's shoulder issue FRISCO, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys are shutting down CeeDee Lamb with two games remaining after their 2023 All-Pro receiver spent the second half of the season dealing with a sprained right shoulder. The team says additional exams revealed enough damage to keep Lamb off the field Sunday at Philadelphia and in the final game at home against Washington. The team says surgery isn't expected to be required. Dallas was eliminated from playoff contention a few hours before last weekend’s 26-24 victory over Tampa Bay.

After it, a 46-year-old is to face court accused of assault and threatening to kill someone. In an unconnected confrontation last week, one angry driver carried another angry driver off on the back of his ute. In Sunday's incident, the police said that a man and a woman were sitting in a car when a 46-year-old man who was known to the woman approached the vehicle. The police said that "the man began banging on the window before pulling the man out of the vehicle, punching and kicking him several times. "Bystanders intervened and separated the pair before the man got into his vehicle and drove at the other man. "The victim took shelter behind a boulder which the man hit with his vehicle before he fled the scene." Police said the alleged aggressor was arrested at 10pm in Calwell. "He has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, recklessly threatening to kill a person, and attempting to use an offensive weapon," ACT Policing said. In last week's angry confrontation, a driver got carried away - literally: he ended up being driven away on the back of the other truck in the confrontation . What seemed to have happened was that two drivers of trucks - a white Mazda B2600 ute and a white Toyota Hilux - stopped and confronted each other on Gundaroo Drive near the roundabout with the Barton Highway. ACT police arrested a man after he tried to run over another man in a car park.

The Hilux then stopped and the unwilling passenger had to walk back to his own truck. It is not known how far he had to trudge. "Both vehicles stopped and a short time later, the Toyota was seen travelling north along Gundaroo Drive with the driver of the Mazda in the tray of the Hilux," the police said. "The driver of the Toyota pulled over and the man in the tray exited the vehicle and began walking back towards the Barton Highway." Police wanted anyone who may be able to help with information to get in touch. "Anyone with information that can assist police, or who may have witnessed the incident, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website .

Bailie Scanlon served constituents in the for over two decades and will be remembered for his 'relentless fight against poverty' and advocacy for the communities he served. Labour Group said it was 'deeply saddened' to announce the news. In a statement they wrote: "Bailie Scanlon's unwavering dedication to the Southside Central ward was evident in his relentless fight against poverty, his advocacy for better housing, and his steadfast determination to create safer and stronger communities. "For decades, Bailie Scanlon worked tirelessly for the people of Southside Central, earning the deep respect and admiration of all those who had the privilege of working with him. His years of public service will not be forgotten, and his absence will be keenly felt across our communities. "Bailie Scanlon's commitment and passion resonated profoundly, and he leaves behind a legacy of service that will continue to inspire our efforts as we strive to build a fairer and more just society. "He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and his memory will live on in the work we do." Tributes have flooded in from colleagues for the 'loving family man'. Cllr George Redmond, Leader of the Glasgow Labour Group, said: "This is deeply sad and devastating news for Jim's family, and my thoughts are with his wife, Frances, and all his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. I have known Jim for nearly 25 years, and his untimely passing has come as a shock to us all. "Jim was a passionate and dedicated public servant, and his heart was always with the people of Toryglen and the Gorbals. For over 20 years, he gave everything to those communities, always putting others before himself and working tirelessly to improve the lives of those he served. "Glasgow has lost a truly devoted servant, and his commitment to his community will never be forgotten. His absence will leave a void in all of our hearts, and he will be sorely missed by everyone who had the privilege to work alongside him." Cllr Soryia Siddique, Deputy Leader of the Glasgow Labour Group and Southside Central ward colleague, said: "I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our colleague Bailie James Scanlon. Jim was a devoted public servant who spent decades working for the people of Southside Central. "He was a hard-working ward colleague, always supportive and dedicated to improving the lives of those he served. Beyond his work as a councillor, Jim was a loving family man and a tireless advocate for social justice. "His loss is felt not just within the ward but across the city. My thoughts and prayers are with Jim’s wife, Frances, and all his family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time." Councillor Jill Pidgeon said: "Very sad news earlier on today. Jim Scanlon was a wise head, a great colleague and a true community champion. He will be sadly missed."Dan Campbell left furious in press conference as journalist reveals Lions player leaked plays in social media post READ MORE: The 'ugly' scenes that led to Matt Eberflus' Chicago Bears firing By OLIVER SALT Published: 21:46 GMT, 30 November 2024 | Updated: 21:49 GMT, 30 November 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell cut a frustrated figure after being told by a journalist that one of his players had accidentally leaked an offensive play on social media. Before their 23-20 victory over the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving , Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs shared a photo on his Instagram story which showed teammate Jermar Jefferson stood in front of a whiteboard filled with specific plays. Fans were quick to spot that the whiteboard was filled with specific offensive plays, though it is unclear whether Detroit actually uses any of them in-game or not. Regardless, Gibbs, 22, risked exposing team secrets by posting the photo on Instagram - and Campbell was unaware of it up until a press conference on Saturday. The Lions coach was told by a reporter in that press conference about his player's actions, which appeared to leave him both stunned and furious in equal measure. When told about Gibbs' apparent leak on social media and asked if he needs to remind him to be smart about posting online, Campbell said: 'Oh, I didn't know that. I did not know that. Lions HC Dan Campbell (right) fumed after learning Jahmyr Gibbs (left) leaked an offensive play Jahmyr Gibbs nooooooooooooo pic.twitter.com/80wIBGcyTT — The Coachspeak Index (@CoachspeakIndex) November 30, 2024 Gibbs shared this photo of teammate Jermar Jefferson with team secrets seen in the background 'Ok, yeah, I need to check on that then. Did not know that.' Before swiftly leaving the press conference, he added: 'Yeah, I'd rather our stuff not be out there. Thanks.' Gibbs is currently in his second season with the Lions after being selected with the 12th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The former Alabama college star has been a crucial member of Campbell's offense in 2024, recording a total of 973 rushing yards and 11 total touchdowns so far, both of which rank in the top five in the NFL. He has helped Detroit flex its muscles as a major Super Bowl contender by winning 11 of their 12 regular-season fixtures, with the only slip-up coming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. Next up for the Lions is a huge showdown with the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field next Thursday.

Jimmy Carter, the 39th US president, has died at 100Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Pope Francis opens a "Holy Door" at St Peter's Basilica to mark the start of the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Photo by VINCENZO PINTO The unlocking of the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica on Christmas Eve by Pope Francis — the event that kicked off the 2025 Jubilee — heralded the start of a historic event taking place every 25 years and that will end with the closing of the door on January 6, 2026. The opening of the Holy Door, watched on screens by thousands of faithful outside in St Peter's Square, means that during the next 12 months Catholic pilgrims from around the world will be able to pass through the door that is walled at all other times to get a "plenary indulgence," which means forgiveness for their sins. Other Holy Doors in Rome's three major basilicas and in Catholic churches around the world are also being opened. During the year-long Vatican Jubilee , a church tradition dating back to the 15th century encouraging the faithful to make pilgrimages to Rome, and amid serious security fears by authorities, millions of worshippers from around the world are expected to descend upon Italy’s capital and other Catholic landmarks around Italy to seek indulgence. The Jubilee 2025 logo Pope Francis Jubilee And Pilgrims By The Millions More than 35 million attendees are expected in Rome alone, according to Italy’s National Tourist Research Institute — nearly three times the numbers recorded in 2023. “Pilgrimage,” as explained by Pope Francis, is “fundamental” during jubilees: “Setting out on a journey is traditionally associated with our human quest for meaning in life. A pilgrimage on foot is a great aid for rediscovering the value of silence, effort and simplicity of life.” For the Jubilee 2025 celebration, Rome has been prepared to sparkle and shine with key projects only finished in the last few days following months of work that turned much of the city into a building site. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said it had taken a "little civil miracle" to get the project finished in time. Well-known sites and artworks in Rome and at the Vatican including St. Peter’s Basilica have been restored. Also buffed up are Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona and Bernini’s angels on the Ponte Sant’Angelo. Monuments such as the Trevi Fountain and the Ponte Sant'Angelo have been cleaned up and roads redesigned to improve the flow of traffic. Religious souvenirs and prayer cards featuring Pope Francis (Papa Francesco) displayed near Vatican City in preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year Security Efforts And Worries As preparation get underway in the “eternal city,” not everyone is happy: “Romans are gesticulating in overdrive and griping in snarled traffic as the Eternal City overhauls piazzas, fountains, bridges and tunnels,” the Washington Post reports. “Even more are ranting about surging rents and greedy landlords poised to cash in on a coming tsunami of tourists.” Some 700 security officers are being deployed around the Vatican and Rome. Still, many residents worry about how the Eternal City is going to cope with millions more visitors at sites that are already overcrowded and with public transport jammed and unreliable. Piazza Navona Square during renovation works for the Jubilee of the year 2025 The Sites To Visit Among the sites most visited by Jubilee visitors will be the Christian catacombs and seven major pilgrim churches that are popular destinations among Catholics since St. Philip Neri in the 16th century made his 15-mile walk: the basilicas of St. Peter, St. Mary Major, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. Lawrence, Holy Cross and St. Sebastian. Another 12 churches around Rome have been designated “Jubilee churches” and are included in the itinerary. Given the massive numbers of visitors, anyone planning to visit Rome is advised to make advance reservations for accommodations, tickets and transport. An increase in tourists tax is also expected. Hope And Patience The Jubilee is intended as a period of reflection and penance and organized around the theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” with the concepts of hope and patience placed at the center of the celebration and primarily aimed at the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. “Everyone knows what it is to hope,” Pope Francis wrote. “In the heart of each person, hope dwells as the desire and expectation of good things to come, despite our not knowing what the future may bring.” Pope Francis also described patience as a “virtue closely linked to hope,” yet can feel elusive in “our fast-paced world where we are used to wanting everything now.” Faithful gather in front of the basilica at St Peter's square during the Christmas Eve mass launching Jubilee 2025. Photo by Alberto Pizzoli The Reward: Indulgence For those pilgrims following the Catholic church’s commandments for the 2025 Jubilee, there are spiritual rewards that include the granting of indulgences. The sacrament of Confession in Catholicism is one way to get sins pardoned, releasing the sinner from eternal punishment. Indulgences permit the removal of “the temporal punishment of sin that may remain and the consequence of the wrongdoing that might disrupt the sinner’s relationships with others.” Catholics, as reported by the Associated Press, can obtain an indulgence if they: — Undertake a pious pilgrimage, participating in Masses and other sacraments, at any of the four papal basilicas in Rome or the Holy Land, or other sacred Jubilee sites “so as to manifest the great need for conversion and reconciliation.” — Participate in works of charity, mercy or penance, such as visiting prisoners, sick people or elderly people or undertaking corporal works of mercy “to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned and bury the dead.” — Abstain, in a spirit of penance, for at least one day of the week from “futile distractions” such as social media or from “superfluous consumption” such as fasting; or donating the proportionate sum to the poor or to help migrants. Most Important Events For Jubilee 2025 Among the main events scheduled throughout the year are a long list of cultural and religious meetings including masses, exhibitions, conferences and concerts. Also central to the celebration are Jubilee gatherings with liturgies, speakers and papal audiences for different groups: For example: From January 24-26, the Jubilee of the World of Communications; on February 8 and 9, the Jubilee of the Armed Forces, Police and Security Personnel; from February 15-18, Jubilee for artists; from February 21-23 for deacons; from May 10-11 for marching bands; from April 25-27, Jubilee of Teenagers; and from July 28-August 3, Jubilee of Young People. Along with the special gatherings, there will be canonisations and the celebration of the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, from which Christians received the Nicene Creed. The Jubilee Year concludes with the closing of the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica on January 6, 2026. Other major basilicas will close on December 28, 2025.

Colum Eastwood MP has said the Ofcom finding is a “clear demonstration that the North West isn’t a priority for BBC Northern Ireland”. Ofcom said the BBC had broadcast 300 fewer hours of news and current affairs on Radio Foyle in 2023/24 than it was required to. In 2023, the BBC cut its two-hour breakfast show on Radio Foyle down to 30 minutes as part of a number of schedule and programme changes. The decision provoked a number of protests from the public and politicians in Derry. In early 2024 the breakfast show replacement programme named North West Today was extended to an hour – but still an hour shorter than the original morning show. Ofcom said the BBC had informed it that the cuts meant it had "breached its BBC Radio Foyle news and current affairs condition". The operating licence condition requires the BBC to broadcast at least 1,043 hours of news and current affairs programmes (including repeats) on Radio Foyle. In June 2024, the Ofcom report said, the BBC told the regulator it had not met that quota. "In this case, the BBC has missed its quota by 300 hours, achieving only 71% of the required level of output," Ofcom said. Foyle MP Mr Eastwood said that the decision to seek changes to the license rather than providing the required news content is a” clear demonstration that the North West isn’t a priority for BBC Northern Ireland”. Colum Eastwood MP said: “When the BBC first announced its plan to cut programming at Radio Foyle, communities in the North West were rightly angry. “The decision ignored the unique political, cultural and news environment that exists here, it undermined hardworking staff and it diminished the entire station. It was, and remains, a bad call. “Our cross-party, cross-community campaign to resist the cuts was successful in saving elements of news programming but we were clear that the reduction in news content was a disservice to BBC staff, license fee payers and people who rely on public service broadcasting from Radio Foyle.” “The finding from Ofcom that the BBC breached its operating license by slashing news content in the North West is damning, it damages the credibility of BBC Northern Ireland as a broadcaster and it is deeply embarrassing for senior management. “People in the North West deserve first class public service broadcasting from the BBC. We have talented journalists, producers, researchers and broadcasters who can deliver it. It’s enormously disappointing that we aren’t a priority for BBC Northern Ireland.” The details of the breach are contained in an Ofcom report into the BBC's performance in 2024. BBC said it will be requesting that the regulator amends the operating licence to reflect changes to Radio Foyle’s output. The UK's communications regulator publishes annual reports into how the BBC is meeting the needs of viewers and listeners. When imposing the cuts at Foyle in 2023, the BBC said it was “committed to Foyle as a production centre for local and regional content”. The publicly funded corporation also said it would affect many different people within BBCNI. At the time BBC Radio Foyle had around 28 workers at its offices, while more than 600 staff are based in its headquarters in Belfast. According to the regulator's report, the BBC blamed "an internal miscommunication" which meant it "incorrectly believed it would still be able to meet its quota for this condition". "We consider that the quotas included in the Operating Licence are required to ensure the BBC continues to deliver content that reaches and serves all audiences," Ofcom said. "This is particularly the case where the quotas are intended to reach and serve specific audience groups, such as in this instance, where Radio Foyle serves audiences in the North West of Northern Ireland," it continued. "Non-compliance with these quotas is a potentially serious matter." Ofcom said the BBC would now be submitting a request to amend its operating licence "in relation to the Radio Foyle news and current affairs condition to reflect the current output". The regulator said that it would assess the changes when it received the BBC's request and then decide what action to take about the breach of the quota.

Swiss National Bank Sells 700 Shares of MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTSI)D uring my years as a fellow at Oxford, I shared a kitchen at my college with a Mexican working on her doctoral thesis on the Chicano Movement, a pivotal social and political movement in the U.S. focusing on Mexican-American rights and empowerment. While preparing a meal, we would chat into the night on some common areas of interest, mainly civil rights and social justice, or the cultural preservation and identity of the minorities. The lack of anti-war or anti-discrimination efforts by the state became one of our primary areas of conversation. Latino social justice movements on intersectional feminism and identity politics gave us an insight into the wide impact of such research. Through these exchanges, I developed a profound interest in the intricate dynamics between dissent, democratic values, and the challenges posed by authoritarian narratives, a subject I went on to link to my research on dissident politics in the U.S. Our kitchen became a hub for cultural exchange and intellectual discussions, a cornerstone of postgraduate life. Beyond intellectual discussions, I discovered the culinary heritage and the rich flavours of Chicano cuisine. Over cerveza and lively conversations, my friend and I would collaboratively cook traditional dishes such as chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers) and enchiladas rojas (red sauce-covered tortillas with meat). On some days, I would roast drumsticks or whip up Madhur Jaffrey’s iconic Chettinad pepper chicken learned from her classic BBC cookbook published decades ago. The subtle, tantalising aromas wafting through the rooms would entice neighbours to drop by for a bite. Our culinary adventures transcended mere cooking, evolving into a gastro-intellectual experience. We savoured not only the flavours but also the stories and traditions behind each dish, weaving together food, culture, and camaraderie. It so happened that before I left Oxford, I left my crockery and some utensils neatly stored in a corner of the sideboard. Four years later, I returned to Oxford and revisited my college digs where I had spent a meaningful part of my academic life. Astonishingly, on peeping into the kitchen, I discovered my utensils exactly where I had left them. No one — not even the caretaker or cleaning staff — had disturbed them. This small gesture spoke volumes about the university’s culture of trust and respect. I remember our kitchen’s sole refrigerator was shared by two of us, yet we effortlessly managed our individual space without prior demarcation. Each of us claimed a shelf, storing sandwiches, eggs, bacon, fish, beer, and wine. Remarkably, not a single item went missing. This unwritten understanding reinforced the spirit of fellowship that defined our living arrangement. The refrigerator, a shared space, transcended its practical purpose to represent our collective values, a testament to our harmonious interaction, where trust and mutual respect reigned. Many, many years have gone by, and as I savour a meal of butter chicken which I often cooked back in Oxford, memories flooded in. I recalled the college library, where students could borrow books without supervision. The honour system encouraged community involvement, integrity and self-regulation, inculcating in students the practice of borrowing books without supervision, and thereby fostering a sense of responsibility and uprightness. We would simply sign out books with our names, titles, and ID numbers, and return them by dropping them into a designated box. Year-end stock checks rarely revealed more than two or three missing books. One particular instance absorbed me. Two texts on economics went missing, and suspicion subtly fell on an Asian couple researching economics within the college. Invited to dinner at their residence, I spotted the missing books on a lower shelf. We later jokingly remarked, “Only a South Asian could think of such a theft!” Having experienced similar incidents during my M.Phil. days, I was not surprised. Back then, some classmates would tear out chapters or steal entire books, leaving the library vandalised. We knew the culprit — the eldest in our batch, who ironically posed as a fatherly figure to us aspiring teachers. His actions went unchecked, but the memory lingered. Oxford’s library, however, stood in stark contrast. Its trust-based system and minimal losses demonstrated the power of shared accountability and academic integrity. The shared kitchens and resources at Oxford created a nurturing environment for postgraduate students and visiting fellows, encouraging a spirit of closeness and intellectual curiosity. Through mealtime discussions, individuals formed lasting connections, broadened their academic horizons, and developed enduring bonds. shelleywalia@gmail.com Published - November 24, 2024 03:13 am IST Copy link Email Facebook Twitter Telegram LinkedIn WhatsApp Reddit
