Citation: Withington, Charles Hall. Fireless cooking. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1906. ; Morse Department of Special Collections ; Introduction: Military life being one of exposure and activity the soldiers food must be adequate to repair the ordinary wear and tear, as well as to supply energy and animal heat. The problem then is to procure the proper kind or food properly prepared, since a military diet must not only be nutritious but palatable. Food may be divided into two great classes: 1st. Inorganic: as water, salt, etc. 2nd. Organic: which is sub-divided into three groups. a. Nitrogenous: meats, eggs, etc. b. Carbohydrates: starches, sugars, etc. c. Fats and Oils. On the principle that food is to supply energy and animal heat as well as replace the wasted tissues of the body it is considered by authorities on foods that the nitrates and carbohydrates are the most essential in quantity the others, water excepted, being necessary only in such small quantities that they may be termed condiments. The meats, eggs, and legumes furnish the greatest amount of nitrates, the legumes also being very rich in carbohydrates. The preparation of these foods is accomplished by what is termed cooking, which consists in sore forms of applying heat to food. The cooking temperature or different kinds of food to preserve their most nutritious qualities varies. It is found by experience that foods containing the most nitrates preserve their most nutritive qualities when cooked at a temperature or 180° F. By what process of cooking can we best do this, and at the same time make them easy for assimilation, attractive, and palatable? Many kinds of apparatus have been invented in the last century for cooking at this temperature, by the retention or heat. The principle of cooking by the retention of heat is an old one, and has been used for many years in a primitive form by the people of Norway and Germany, and also by the Indians or New Mexico. About 30 years ago it was tried in the British Army but soon dropped into disuse. It has been left to the genius and perseverance of the Yankee, to perfect the method of what is known as fireless cooking.

This diptych is the result of the first subproject of the study 'Steering with Space' on regional steering networks in education.
In the first subproject of this study, we investigated what is meant by "the region", how the region can be
conceptually, what "the region" means as an administrative scale level and how the government can use it to
can steer with it. For this purpose, we did two things: firstly, we conducted a systematic international literature study and
Firstly, we conducted a systematic international literature study and secondly, we analysed the government's policy discourse on the region.
Secondly, we analysed the government's policy discourse on 'the region in Dutch education'. In both the literature study and the policy analysis, we proceeded openly and inductively by examining the
sources - scientific (research) literature and policy documents, respectively - by allowing them to "speak for themselves" as much as possible.
We did this by systematically searching for and selecting the sources, mapping their contents, ordering them, and then arriving at findings. - Dit tweeluik is de uitkomst van het eerste deelproject van de studie 'Sturen met Ruimte'
naar regionale sturingsnetwerken in het onderwijs. In het eerste deelproject van deze studie
zijn we nagegaan wat zoal wordt verstaan onder 'de regio', hoe de regio conceptueel kan
worden afgebakend, wat 'de regio' betekent als bestuurlijk schaalniveau en hoe de overheid
ermee kan sturen. Hiervoor hebben we twee dingen gedaan: ten eerste het uitvoeren van
een systematische internationale literatuurstudie en ten tweede het analyseren van het
beleidsdiscours van de overheid over 'de regio in het Nederlandse onderwijs'. Bij zowel de
literatuurstudie als de beleidsanalyse zijn we open en inductief te werk gegaan door de
bronnen – respectievelijk wetenschappelijke (onderzoeks-)literatuur en beleidsdocumenten
– zoveel mogelijk zelf te laten 'spreken'. We deden dat door op een systematische manier
de bronnen te zoeken en te selecteren, de inhoud ervan in kaart te brengen, die te ordenen
om vervolgens tot bevindingen te komen.

It's hard for an outsider to understand the pace of change in Karachi, Pakistan, these days. Statistics don't really do it justice. Over the past decade, millions of Pakistanis have fled the fighting and terrorism in their country's northwest to settle in Karachi, Pakistan's pulsing commercial heart. But the flood of migrants in search of jobs and opportunity has also brought Karachi some less savory additions. Gangs tied to political parties have long operated in the poorer parts of the city, running extortion rings and land-grab schemes. Pitched firefights that go on for days between gangs, or between gangs and the police, are not uncommon. As a result, Karachi is far and away the world's most dangerous megacity, with a homicide rate of 12.3 per 100,000 residents. Now added to this combustible mix are drug gangs often with links to Iran. And they've brought with them a new commodity that is increasingly making its way from Karachi's ports to the wider world: methamphetamine. Adapted from the source document.

This article explores the discourses of multiculturalism and gender equality in relation to nation-building in Finland. The two discourses relate differently to the nation so that gender equality is seen as inherent to the nation while multiculturalism is seen as a challenge posed from outside. Nevertheless, the two discourses are dependent upon each other and cite each other. The material for the analysis is a document produced by an NGO-based multicultural women's project in Finland. The article can also be read as a contribution to the debate over the compatibility between gender equality and multiculturalism through an analysis of how gender equality - as an ideology and as a set of practices - is deeply embedded in the production of otherness in the Finnish context.
