chachamal Asian equity markets declined on Thursday, ending a two-day rise due to conflicting news about peace talks between the US and Iran.

The Australian dollar traded below $0.695, holding steady at a seven-week low. The Reserve Bank of Australia warned that the war in Iran may cause a global supply shock, leading to increased inflation and long-term expectations. This situation could raise short-run neutral rates and require stricter policy. In the U.S. on Wednesday, all three major indexes ended higher as emerging reports of a 15-point US peace proposal delivered to Tehran fueled hopes for a diplomatic end to the Middle East conflic...

A substantial, velvety dish to carry you through into the summer months The sky is the same shade as old Tupperware, our tortoise appears to have gone back into hibernation, the flat upstairs has builders in, but the kitchen smells gorgeous, thanks to this week’s recipe. It is one of the variations suggested by Anna Gosetti Della Salda for her aubergine and egg tortino alla fiorentina in the Tuscany chapter of Le Ricette Regionali Italiane, an indispensable book that I would save from a fire. The addition of potato to the aubergine makes it an even more substantial, velvet-like and better-tasting dish, I think: a layered vegetable bake crossed with a frittata that fancies itself as having a touch of baked eggs (although don’t expect any puffing up). Instead of the aubergine, you could use artichoke hearts (trimmed and cut into slim wedges), courgettes or cardoon, and, if you fancy, you could also add a crumbled sausage or a handful of diced pancetta. Whatever you use, however, a fundamental stage in terms of both flavour and texture is the initial cooking of the vegetables: frying the potatoes, then covering the pan so they fry-steam into tenderness; the aubergine by simply frying. Important, too, is sprinkling the just-cooked slices with a little salt, so the end dish is seasoned through. (The egg and milk mixture is seasoned with cheese – use whatever you have – but check for salt, too.) Continue reading...

During the second world war, farmers received forecasts in code and railway announcers were banned from blaming delays on fog or snow Data security is not just a modern issue. The BBC stopped its daily weather forecasts as soon as the second world war started. They had been a feature of the radio schedule since 1923 but continuing them would have given vital weather intelligence to the Germans. In particular, the forecast provided information about when skies would be clear, what winds were blowing and when storms were expected, all of which would be helpful for the Luftwaffe when planning bombing raids.
