Bi-Weekly newsletter from Journalings Of Sporring - Issue #2

July 11, 2020

Developing ideas and thoughts. This time I have added a new categori.

Journalings of thoughts

  1. I have a new domain, journalings.online what do you think I should change my address?

  2. I've been writing a lot this past two weeks and it feels good to have a little flow in my writing again.

  3. If time is a construction of man, does it really exist?

  4. Meditations is a good way to relax and get into a Zen mood, I do one every morning for 10 minutes, and one before I head to bed for another 10 minutes.

Finally, got out for a run and it felt so good. I have been longing to do it for a long time now. For me that's freedom!

Writing is my creative outlet right now, I have tried a lot of different kinds during the years. And I'm not stopping now, maybe one day will I start painting too?

Journalings of links

This newsletter is one appreciate Morning Brew (Not sponsored!)

In the movie Amadeus, the creatively frustrated composer Antonio Salieri discovers pages of Mozart’s original, handwritten compositions and remarks, with utter anguish: He had simply written down music already finished in his head. Page after page of it — as if he were just taking dictation.

A researcher in Russia has made more than 48 million journal articles - almost every single peer-reviewed paper every published - freely available online. And she's now refusing to shut the site down, despite a court injunction and a lawsuit from Elsevier, one of the world's biggest publishers.

For the unfamiliar, Roam Research is a note-taking application built to replicate the way our brains connect thoughts. It’s built on the idea of bi-directional linking, and users tend to either get it or they don’t, but the ones that do…really do.

The Donald seems to have a lot against him now, lets hope it sticks.

The American economy is reopening. In Alabama, gyms are back in business. In Georgia, restaurants are seating customers again. In Texas, the bars are packed. And in Vermont, the stay-at-home order has been lifted. People are still frightened. Americans are still dying.

For the second time in two weeks, Oklahomans have made President Donald Trump look bad. First there was the sparsely attended Tulsa rally. Now Sooner State voters have opted to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.

And in a related story, we find further proof that when Charlie Savage of The New York Times gets a grip on a story, he doesn’t let go. It’s like an owl and its talons; the more the prey struggles, the tighter the talons grip it until the owl has no control over them, either.

Cooking is much more fun when you have all the right gear to make your food dreams into food reality.

Chicken filet with mustard and chilli taste

This time I present a simple but very tasty Chicken recipe

  • 800 grams of Chicken chest

  • 1 red onion

  • 4-5 clefs of garlic

  • 4-5 tbsp of mustard (you choose what kind)

  • 1 pinch of dried chilli

  • olive oil

  • stockcub chicken or vegetable taste

Slice the chicken chest in ca 1 cm cubs. Chop the onion and the garlic.

Heat a frying pan up with olive oil, the chilli and the garlic, almost roast it, turn down the temperature a bit.

Add the chicken and the onion, let them fry until cooked, add the stock cube, mustard and about 3,5-4 dl water. Turn down the temp to half and let it all simmer for about 15 minutes. Taste it with pepper, and extra salt if necessary.

Serve it with Basmati rice (Next issue I will give you my secret in getting the perfect Basmati Rice)
