![]() ![]() ![]() With an exhausted and weakened German force that had sent nearly a dozen divisions to fight in East Prussia and Belgium, the German First Army faces a counterattack and is forced to retreat to the Lower Aisne River, where the first trench warfare of the conflict begins. The First Battle of the Marne marks an Allied victory about 30 miles northeast of Paris, where the French army and British Expeditionary Force stop Germany’s swift advance into France. First Battle of the Marne: September 6-12, 1914 The Germans pursued the Russians, essentially annihilating the armies with 30,000 casualties and more than 90,000 taken prisoner. But after intercepting unencrypted radio messages from the Russians, the Germans are able to reorganize their strategy, forcing the Russians into retreat. The battle begins with Russian armies attacking German troops in German East Prussia (now Poland) from the south and the east, which, at first, works. Battle of Tannenberg: August 26-August 30, 1914ĭubbed the Battle of Tannenberg by the victorious Germans in revenge for the 1410 conflict in which the Poles crushed the Teutonic Knights, this would be the country’s biggest win against Russia along the Eastern Front. Some 1,600 British and 5,000 Germans casualties are reported. In the final of four “Battles of the Frontier” held in the first weeks of World War I, the British forces are overpowered and forced to retreat, handing the Germans a strategic victory. The first European clash since 1815’s Battle of Waterloo, the Battle of Mons takes place in Mons, Belgium, with a British Expeditionary Force that numbers about 75,000 fighting an estimated 150,000 Germans in an attempt to hold the Mons-Conde Canal. ![]()

![]() ![]() Pan fry chicken in butter and oil until golden, amount 3 minutes. See comment under the Ingredients above for why a flour-parmesan coating is essential here! Press the chicken into the mixture to make it stick. If using thigh fillets, halve then pound ĭust chicken – Drizzle chicken with oil, then coat with the flour and parmesan. If using tenderloin, there is no need to cut, just pound each piece. It’s basically like freezer bags in roll form. I use a meat mallet and place the chicken between baking/parchment paper, cling wrap or what is called “Go-Between” which is a freezer film used to keep food from sticking together in the freezer. Then pound each piece until it is 1/2cm / 0.2″ thick. Make sauce in same pan (takes 3 maybe 4 minutes).Ĭut and pound chicken – Cut each chicken breast into 3 pieces. (PS The additional of parmesan here is a trick that makes this Chicken Piccata a standout!).Ĭrispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken for Chicken PiccataĬhicken Piccata is a straight forward, pretty quick recipe:ĭust with flour > pan sear until golden and Without it, the sauce just slips off the chicken. It gives the chicken a crust that the sauce clings to. The capers in salt (ie no liquid) are a little too salty to use here īutter – For cooking and also for the sauce įlour & parmesan – For dusting the chicken. Substitution: If you can’t consume alcohol, use low sodium chicken stock/broth Ĭapers – Use capers in brine, drained. It’s pretty well documented these days by notable food authorities (such as New York Times Cooking) that you do not need to use expensive wines for cooking. The flavour and aroma that you pay for is largely lost during cooking. The wine doesn’t make the sauce taste winey at all because we reduce it right down to cook the alcohol out and just leave behind the concentrated flavour that adds depth to the sauce.ĭon’t use an expensive wine. Chardonnay is particularly great because it adds a good amount of flavour. White wine – Use any dry white wine that’s not too woody, too sweet or fruity. Kind of defeats the purpose if you try to make this with bottled lemon juice! You could also use thigh fillets (skinless boneless) or tenderloins It makes it so much tastier! Lemon Butter Caper Sauce for Chicken Piccata What goes in (my) Chicken PiccataĬhicken breast – 2 breasts will serve 3 to 4 people once we cut each piece into 3 and pound into thin steaks. And as for the chicken? Add a dusting of parmesan. I use less fat than most recipes too, and reduce the white wine through cooking to add complexity in the sauce. The sauce is not as sour – I dial it in to just the right amount of lemon tang. So this is my version of Chicken Piccata. My butt cannot afford that much fat for what’s supposed to a quick, midweek meal! So many recipes also called for an insane amount of butter and oil. I also felt it just didn’t have enough interesting flavour in it to carry a somewhat bland chicken. I always found the lemon sauce mouth-puckeringly sour to the point of wincing. I’ve just never been impressed with the results though, leaving me feeling that I’m somehow missing out on the enjoyment of this dish. This dish is a wildly popular Italian-American classic that I’ve tried making over the years following other recipes. I should clarify and say that this is a better one to me. I realise it sounds totally obnoxious to call this a “better” Chicken Piccata. It’s incredibly easy and amazingly tasty! Chicken Piccata This chicken has a bright, lemony sauce that’s just on the right side of tangy. Spoon on the sauce and serve with a slice of lemon and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.Chicken Piccata is a quick dinner comprised of a crispy pan seared chicken breast with a Lemon Butter Caper Sauce. Discard the lemon halves and serve 1 chicken breast on each plate. Off the heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to combine. ![]() Boil over high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and then add the lemon juice, wine, the reserved lemon halves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place them on the sheet pan and allow them to bake for 5 to 10 minutes while you make the sauce.įor the sauce, wipe out the saute pan with a dry paper towel. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium to medium-low heat. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, shake off the excess, and then dip in the egg and bread crumb mixtures. ![]() In a second plate, beat the egg and 1/2 tablespoon of water together. Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a shallow plate. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound out to 1/4-inch thick. ![]() ![]() The British prime minister is also scheduled to have a one-to-one meeting with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. Biden has signalled he will visit Northern Ireland for the anniversary and has long been keen to protect the agreement. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has been invited to address the summit virtually.īiden and Sunak will meet face to face for the first time at the G20 on Wednesday as US diplomats stepped up pressure to agree a deal on the Northern Ireland protocol by the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement next year. “We will call out Putin’s regime, and lay bare their utter contempt for the kind of international cooperation and respect for sovereignty that forums like the G20 represent,” Sunak said in a statement on Saturday. He is expected to focus on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine directly and emphasise support for Kyiv. Who else is going?īritish PM Rishi Sunak is also off to Bali, where he faces his first big diplomatic test. ![]() He enters the meeting buoyed from recently securing a landmark third term in office, cementing him as the most powerful Chinese leader for generations. Officials say he will push China to rein in ally North Korea after a record-breaking spate of missile tests sent fears soaring that Pyongyang will soon carry out its seventh nuclear test. US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Biden would be “totally straightforward and direct” with Xi and expects the same in return. He is also expected to warn against an invasion of Taiwan, and efforts to restrict navigation of the South China sea. Biden – who now carries considerably more political capital after the results of the US midterm elections – has said he would seek to establish red lines in the US-China relationship that allow competition and coexistence. ![]() ![]() What is the key meeting to watch?Īlthough not strictly a G20 meeting, Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, will meet in Bali on Monday afternoon for their first face-to-face meeting as leaders.

What are the key issues?Īs well as keynote speeches by world leaders, a host of bilateral talks will be held against the background of global tensions that include the invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing global economic fallout, the climate crisis, North Korea’s simmering nuclear programme, and China’s increasing global ambitions.

Upon Castor’s death, Pollux asked his father Zeus to share his immortality as a demi-god with his brother. Some people like to draw out the “twins” symbol between those stars, while others will simply get the stars for themselves to make it a more mysterious tattoo design.Īccording to the Roman and Greek myths, Castor and Pollux were twins, the first of whom was mortal and the later immortal. If you want to go with the most classic of all Gemini tattoos, then you can get the stars that make up the Gemini sign. The Western Zodiac is based in ancient astrological divination, originating in Ancient Babylon and mixing with Ancient Greek mythology. Named after the constellation of Gemini, which means “twins” in Latin, the history of the cluster of stars recalls the twins Castor and Pollux in Roman mythology. If you were born between the dates mentioned above, you might find that a Gemini tattoo is a great way to tell people who you are and what they might expect from you. Regardless of how someone feels about all of the meanings that come with their zodiac signs, there’s usually a connection that they feel to them. This is the most obvious reason for people to get Gemini tattoos. If you are a Gemini and feel like a Gemini tattoo would be a perfect way for you to show who you are through your ink, then take a look below for more information on Gemini tattoos, including design options and meanings.Īmong the Astrological signs of the Western Zodiac, Gemini is the symbol of the twins and represents those born between May 22nd and June 21st. Gemini tattoos are fantastic for anyone who happened to be born under the sign, not only because they were “lucky” to be born when they were, but also because the sign comes with some fantastic designs and meanings. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Theirs is the business of aesthetics, often through control and manipulation, so for there to suddenly be a chorus of them purposely using weeds as a design tool, well that is a change indeed.īut what of the beastly ones I hear you cry? Everyone can learn to love some daisies in their lawn, but docks, brambles, bindweed and dandelions – can you learn to love this lot? ‘Weeds protect, build and feed our soil system as they grow.’ Photograph: Linda Nylind/The GuardianĮcologists, naturalists, wild gardeners, rewilders and regenerative growers have all been singing weeds’ praises for some time for all these reasons. Though much-maligned, weeds protect, build and feed our soil system as they grow. Annual weeds are often the first flush of protection for bare soil, their quick lifecycles timed perfectly to protect the critical biologically active top layers of soil so necessary for life on Earth, so easily damaged and eroded by weather if left bare. Many perennial weeds have deep root systems that break up compacted soils and mine the subsoil layers for minerals and nutrients, depositing them on the soil surface as their leaves die back. Too often this breeding for our eye or our tastebuds is to the detriment of the wider food web. ![]() They are a buffet that is always open and readily available to invertebrates, unlike more highly bred plants that have lost their nectaries and pollen sources to larger or multiple petals, deeper scents or different colours. Weeds, as the RHS notes, are resilient by nature they often flower repeatedly, whatever the weather, and will grow in poor, thin, baked, compacted and made-of-pure-rubble soils. They flower at the right time of year to be important sources of pollen and nectar for pollinators, and their leaves, roots and seeds act as larval food for other insects. Many of our weeds are intricate parts of the food web. This championing of the humble weed by the RHS comes in the face of mounting evidence that weeds are doing far more than taking up resources – they are giving back. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() However, because of having these personalities, Grizzly seemingly would sometimes thinks that he, and his brother doesn't have to stick to the law, but can serve justice by themselves, as this was demonstrated in the episode "Our Stuff" he decided not to call the police and convinced his siblings to do vigilante stuffs. Surprisingly, this messy room also reflects Grizzly's laziness and even his frequent disregard for personal hygiene. This has been proven in the episode " Rooms" when Panda finds Grizzly’s room an utter mess, unlike his own. Grizzly can also be described as a disorganized, not-so-orderly bear. He has also been shown to have nightmares regarding his past, as shown in "Burrito", which may be a driving force in his protective nature towards his brothers. A few other things he has expressed in passion were his home being nearly torn down and his desire to try to get back in touch with his primal roots. This is shown in " Burrito" when a burrito he ordered apparently reminded him of a firefighter saving him as a cub, causing him to become emotionally attached to it, though, as his memory was foggy, he couldn't clearly recall the event. ![]() He has a tendency to be overly sentimental at times, even subconsciously. Sometimes, he can also exhibit behaviors one could find selfish, such as trying to become viral mostly for his own gain. During these mood swings, Grizzly can become very surly or even extremely distressed, or even have a breakdown as shown in " Hibernation". ![]() Occasionally, Grizzly can have major mood swings, causing him to veer from his usual happy-go-lucky attitude. This is shown in " Everyday Bears" when Grizzly gets stuck in a tree and he refuses everyone's help to get him out of the tree. Sometimes when Grizzly finds himself in an awkward situation, he refuses help and tries to independently find a way to fix the problem. He is the most outgoing and proactive of his brothers. In "Our Stuff", when the Bears found themselves in trouble, Grizzly stated they would go through the hardship together. He loves his brothers unconditionally and would take a bullet for them. A small example of this can be seen at the beginning of " Brother Up" when he's taking his brothers out for exercise, and in the end where he knows exactly what to do to fend off the wolves. He has a love of film that stems from experience from a very young age.ĭespite his appearance and rather childish behavior, Grizzly is shown to be fairly knowledgeable about some things to help guide his brothers if they need help. Even though he had discovered this unfortunate revelation, from time to time, he will still attempt to become internet famous, however in his own way. Grizzly wanted to be internet famous in the episode " Viral Video", but he gave up on it, finding out that he wouldn't have the time to spend with his friends. He loves to make friends, enjoying attention and generally being very social and friendly - meeting someone new means possibly making a new friend. Out of the three Bears, he stands out the most and sets good examples for them. He acts as and is seen as, the leader to his two brothers. Grizzly is portrayed as outgoing, boisterous, friendly and outdoorsy. Grizzly is in the middle in terms of height, being taller than Panda and shorter than Ice Bear. His entire body is completely covered in brown fur. Grizzly is an anthropomorphic grizzly bear. ![]() ![]() She attended church and received a prayer. The weight of all of these things really began to take a toll on her. She and her siblings remained in the hospital so they wouldn’t be alone. During this tough period, her mother contracted ampullary cancer and needed surgery. After 22 years of a marriage, a woman went through a period of devastation after a painful divorce. This incident suggests they were hearing the sound of a heavenly chorus.Īngels can show up and ease suffering by bringing the presence of peace. She turned to a friend and asked if she could hear the sound, and she said yes and was shocked that they both heard the same sound. But when she turned around, nobody was there. As she sat a few rows from the back, she felt a powerful presence of the Lord and hear several male tenor voices behind them, and those voices were remarkable. Given other people had received bad news, the pastor gathered them together at the church. A woman featured in the book had been diagnosed with cancer. Some people are graced by God to see angels while others are graced by Him to hear them, MacNutt says. You Hear a Voice or Voices When No One Is Around After this experience, she was positive that God existed and angels in heaven. Through this time of trial, she felt a sense of inner strength and comfort and her presence in her healing. Weeks later, the woman came down with pneumonia and was taken to the hospital. The young angel was only there for about 30 seconds when she disappeared, along with the blue light. She felt a sense of calm in her presence. A little girl who looked to be about eight years old stood there. When her eyes were opened, she saw a bright light followed by a bright blue ball. As she was dozing off on her sofa, something woke her up. In one of the book’s stories, an angel appeared to a farmer’s wife in southwest Missouri to open her eyes to the spiritual realm. Many people think that angels only appeared during Biblical times or to the mystics, but angels appear every day to everyday people. You Wake Up to the Presence of a Bright Light When we are in the presence of angels, we know that God is close. Here are four signs you’ve encountered an angel, based on the book “Encountering Angels” by Judith MacNutt featuring real stories of people who have experienced angelic encounters. ![]() These moments are just a few of the amazing signs that we are in the presence of one. Have you ever felt a comforting presence even though no one else was around or noticed a light in the corner of your eye, even though there was no beam of light when you turned towards the light? Angels are among us. Their wings wrap gently around you, whispering you are loved an blessed…” Angels are watching over you when times are good or stressed.

Kyle later discovers that glow is being made by a psychotic priest named Father Bella, who hopes to use the drug to bring about the apocalypse. Kyle later finds out that Cody is using a powerful strength-enhancing drug called "glow", which helps the arthritis in his knees. After Kyle arrives at the bar, he plays a game with his girlfriend and bar owner Vanessa Sims (whose brother is a member of the police department), while waiting for Cody. After the end of a fight one evening, Kyle and Cody decide to meet at the local bar to celebrate with some beers and a round of pool however, Cody has some unspoken business that delays his arrival for an hour. As Cody Travers' younger brother, Kyle is the star of the underground Metro City fight club, spending nights fighting various other fighters in order to earn enough quick cash to make ends meet. Kyle and Cody Travers are brothers who take part in the sport of underground fighting. Kyle will run into familiar faces, as well as new ones. In Streetwise, Kyle roams the streets of his hometown, doing detective work, on the search for his captured brother. Streetwise is set several years after Final Fight 3, and focuses on Kyle Travers (voiced by Trent Kaniuga), Cody's younger brother. Progress will resume at the last checkpoint rather than the character's last position. The game's save system can only be used once the player decides to quit the game.

The arcade mode is a no-frills 3D brawler for 1 or 2 players. An 'instinct' system allows you to counter opponents' attacks, as well as make your attacks more powerful. Players earn money through pit fights and side missions, upgrading Kyle's moveset by training in various gyms in Metro City while progressing through the game. The story mode, which is exclusively single player, has ten minigames, including cockroach stomping, arm-wrestling, slide puzzles, shooting contests and the classic car bash. Series regulars Haggar and Guy also make appearances in the game's story mode, which has Kyle battling a maniacal priest named Father Bella and the illegal drug "glow".įinal Fight: Streetwise is a 3D beat 'em up game. The game returned the series to its beat-'em-up roots, casting players as Kyle Travers, brother of Cody from the first game.
