#what is 80g

80g

Punishment for inability to gather charge at source 80g is a punishment forced on the individual who neglects to gather charge at source.

The punishment is forced under segment 80G of the Personal Assessment Act, 1961.

How much punishment shifts with the kind of assessment.

To compute how much punishment, you want to be aware:

(I) The pace of assessment pertinent on the pay being referred to; and (ii) The aggregate sum payable via annual duty in regard of that pay.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a crucial role in addressing social issues, advocating for human rights, and driving positive change in society. These organizations work tirelessly to bridge the gaps left by governments and contribute towards building a more equitable world. However, for an NGO to operate effectively and gain credibility, it is essential to register itself under a legally recognized framework. One such framework is registration as a trust, which provides NGOs with numerous benefits and opportunities to fulfill their mission.

In this article, we delve into the process of NGO registration as a trust and explore its significance in empowering these organizations to make a lasting impact. We are the experts in trust registration.

Three-Scuttle Bread Boat

There's nothing quite as indulgent as the scuttle bread boat, also known by the Telvanni as khachapuri. The traditional use of three types of scuttle, said to represent the Tribunal, is almost obscene for the average working Dunmer, making khachapuri a treat rather than an everyday meal. Topped with a cliff racer or kwama egg, this mouthwatering bread boat is best served immediately! Serves four.

You will need:

Bread:

1 tsp dry yeast

270g plain flour

55ml water

200ml milk

1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing

1 tbsp sugar

1 tsp salt

Filling:

2 eggs (one whisked, for brushing)

80g mature cheddar, grated

80g fresh mozzarella, chopped

80g feta, crumbled

1 tbsp butter

Crushed dried chilis or chili powder to serve, optional (and non-traditional)

Method:

Combine the yeast, sugar, salt, and flour. In a pan, bring the milk and water to a gentle simmer (you should be able to touch the water without burning yourself, about 25C/77F) and pour into the dry ingredients. Knead until smooth and stretchy, at least 15 minutes.

Add the olive oil to your dough, and knead for another 3-5 minutes so it sinks in. Pop the dough into a well-oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and leave to rise in a warm spot (out of direct sunlight) for an hour.

When the dough is about double in size, punch it down, then leave it to rise again for another 30 mins. When ready, shape the dough into a large oval, then roll flat until about 1/2cm thick.

For the filling, simply combine the cheeses and sprinkle into the boat. Sprinkle 1/3 of the cheese in a thick, neat line on the left side of the dough, and another 1/3 on the right. Take the edge of the dough and roll it over the cheese, then roll the outside diameter inwards gently a couple of times to form a raised lip. Sprinkle the rest of the filling in the middle.

This will therefore be a stuffed crust to start, as well as a method of keeping the outer edges raised! Finally, pinch or twist the ends together to a sharp point. This will help to contain the filling when it melts. Whisk one egg and brush over the entire bread, filling and all, until glossy.

Bring your oven to 230C/450F and bake on the middle shelf for 15 minutes, until the bread is firm and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven, and make a deep well in the middle of the cheese by pressing down with a tablespoon. Scatter butter over the cheese. Crack the last egg into the well and return to the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the egg white is slightly cooked but still runny.

To serve, vigorously whisk together the cheese and egg with a fork until entirely combined (the egg will continue to cook in the hot cheese). Simply tear the bread apart with your hands to eat and dip. Sprinkle with dried chilis or chili powder if desired.

This is what your khachapuri should look like after scrambling the filling!

Ficbinding: The Inexhaustible Silence of Houses by Askance

The fic: SPN, Castiel/Dean Winchester, T, 31.8k I've been trying to read more longfics* this year in order to get my brain used to reading again, and I've followed rec lists to do so. That means I'm only now discovering the big classics and popular authors of the fandom, and I'm having a great time. This fic is a beautifully crafted horror story that gripped me and that I didn't want to let go. I rarely read Cas POVs but this worked great on me. This story has everything that makes horror great: an unreliable narration, an oppressing atmosphere, and hints you catch too late.

*With my attention span, "longfic" starts at 25k words.

The bind: After several books that were a little complex or eccentric, I wanted to do something simple. I used my beautiful dark green cloth (my camera murdered the true color of it) because the story is set in a forested area. Dean and Cas settle in an old house, so it seemed fitting to use that magnificent magnolia endpaper that could be a wallpaper in a house like that. I used pale pink headbands and ribbon because 1) I've never used pink in a bind and 2) it's charming and I really wanted to represent that atmosphere of coziness the start of the fic has. Dean and Cas try to settle down and make a home of their own in the fic, and I thought that these colors would call to mind an old house fairly well.

I didn't use a lot of decorations this time, I kept the typesetting plain, like I imagine the books that Cas collects in the fic are. I put a house on the title page and a house in flames at the end of the book, iykyk. The only notable thing is that I used a serif font, which I wouldn't normally do for Supernatural. That's because most fics I read are in Dean's POV, and he's a sans serif guy, unlike Cas. Obviously. Anyway, I looked for the fonts that would be the easiest to read in a small book (A6 format, final size 12,6cm x 9,5cm).

Craft specifics to add?

Everything went very well this time except for the trimming of course. I think I played it too tight, I wanted to trim too little and the signatures twisted in the guillotine, so I ended up with an uneven textblock. I reprinted it all, trimmed by hand, sanded the edges (I'm still perfecting that technique) and I was good to go. There are little imperfections because I sanded before I sewed, but I like them.

I'm really proud of the spine, it ended up nice and round. I didn't let the glue dry for as long as usual before I took a hammer to the spine. Should do it again.

The corners are good and this cloth with paper backing took to the grey board like they were making love. It feels so tight and clean.

I used new tools I'm incredibly happy with: a rotary cutter and a quilting ruler.

Fonts: Optimus Princeps (title and author name), Garamond (chapter titles), Gentium Book Basic (text). All free on Dafont.

Materials: Green cloth from Schmedt, 2mm grey board, 80g/m² ivory-colored paper, synthetic bookmark and headbands. Endpaper from Schmedt.

Feel free to ask me more about materials and fonts (or whatever), it won’t bother me at all to tell you what I used, I just can't think of anything else right now.

My first sourdough in about a year—jalapeño cheddar pepperoni bread! The flavor was sooooo good, and the crust texture was absolutely addictive. Great with soup and with good Irish butter. The crumb could use a little work but still, yum. Recipe here, extra notes under the cut.

I used about 80g shredded cheese, 2 large pickled jalapeños (votes were split on whether it could use 3), and all the pepperoni we had, so this kinda proportion:

This dough can be very wet and sticky so I dusted it with quite a lot of flour. I used to just mix the fillings into the dough after autolyzing, but this time, I was successful in flattening the dough, sprinkling the fillings on top, and then gently wrapping it into a ball for the stretch and folds.

I did 6 stretch & folds, then ended up letting it rest 5 hours instead of the prescribed 3 (had too much fun at a New Year’s party) before shaping, so it may have overproofed, but then again, New England winter! Things take time.

I preheated the oven to 500F/260C with the Dutch oven inside, letting it heat maybe 20-30 minutes. I then added the dough and baked it covered for 20 minutes, then lowered the temp to 450F/230C, uncovered it, and baked another 10-15.

What else. Gosh, I think this would make a great breakfast, or a side for tomato soup. My brother would like me to add polenta, like with this bread. The pepperoni added a ton of flavor, especially considering how little I put in. Definitely worth working on this recipe!

Utterly baffling situation I'm in: I'm trying to figure out what my bra size is. I have never had properly fitting bras. The problem in the past was that my size didn't exist, because i had too big a band size and too small a cup size. But I've gained a lot of weight since then so I'm trying to find out what it is now, so that i can figure out what size i need.

I've measured myself thrice over and used different websites and i keep ending up with something ridiculous like 80G. Girl there's no way. I'm flat as hell.

I could accept it if the website told me I was, like, a C cup now. That seems big to me, but what do I know?

But *G*? What in the hells are you even *talking* about.

[mrhaitch]

Hii, what's the best way to make oatmeal?? I trying to like it but it's so gross🤢🤢

80g oats, 300ml milk - heat gently until oats are cooked and it all reaches a consistency you're likely to find edible.

For the topping: peel an apple and dice it. Add to a pan with a tiny amount of water and a tablespoon of sugar, with maybe a teaspoon of cinnamon. Heat gently and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the apples cooked. Stir in raisins and heat through.

Then mix as you like. You might have to use more sugar - always taste.

What I used to wear on dates

This is titled ‘what I used to wear’, because I don’t really tend to go on dates anymore. Of course, Alajos and I still have dates, but it’s a much more relaxed kind of thing, I don’t feel as though I have to pull out every last stop and stand on ceremony anymore, and anyway, he’s blind. Almost none of these tricks would have any kind of positive effect on him whatsoever.

So, this is what I used to wear. I didn’t wear it every single time, and I didn’t reserve it just for dates; this is just my maximalist sort of routine for those moments when you have to look your absolute best. Like, superhuman best. It’s completely fake, but it does what it needs to do.

Underwear

This is where most of the fakery comes in; at least, for me. I have a good body shape naturally, and I work out to make it even better, but I don’t think that it’s possible for any woman to look like a Victoria’s Secret model without devoting themselves literally 24/7 to their body, extreme surgeries, or lots of specialist underwear. I wanted to have the body of a Victoria’s Secret model (3 years later, I think I have gained a slightly more sensible perspective of this goal...), so I invested in the underwear I needed to achieve that.

I’m going to let you in on a secret: if you want high-quality, realistic-looking hip, buttock, or breast enhancers, then you need to be buying high-quality silicone, and shopping from stores intended for drag queens, transvestites, and cross-dressers. No foam pads with weird edges and corners from Amazon or AliExpress! I use SoftLeaves and Hourglass Figure to buy my enhancers, and I always buy the highest quality silicone that I can afford. These sites are going to be more expensive than elsewhere, but it’s worth it; obvious padding is really embarrassing, and you want something that isn’t going to disintegrate after a single wear. Specialist stores like these are discreet, they don’t typically charge with a huge profit margin, and they have a really wide selection of options, with very knowledgeable and friendly customer service. You can buy your enhancers in tiny incremental size options, so that you can achieve exactly the look you want without going overboard.

I used to stack my bras: I wore a high-quality sticky bra (either a drawstring, if I wanted some cleavage, or 2 individual pull-up bras for a perky silhouette under a high-necked top) as a base, and then a traditional push-up bra—I wore the ‘Superboost’ from Gossard, but I’d recommend finding a bra that properly fits and works with your breast shape—with some moderate (80g) silicone enhancers in the bottom. It sounds extreme, and it wasn’t terribly comfortable, but in the context of a whole outfit, it honestly just looked like I’d had an extremely natural-looking boob job. It definitely didn’t look real (to a woman who knows, at least—I don’t think men would be any the wiser!), but it sure looked good.

I had a faja custom-made for me, with a low back and very high compression with steel boning, and cut just right around my chest and arms so that my bra(s!) weren’t impeded at all. I had it come down to my knees—NB: with elastane shapewear, make sure that the hem ends on a joint, either the hip, knee, or the ankle, to prevent rolling—and I had the buttock area made up in a free mesh instead of compression fabric, with extra support beneath, to give my bottom good lift and support. I have slight hip dips naturally, so I wore small silicone hip enhancers beneath my faja to fill in the dips, smooth everything, and give my hips a totally rounded look.

I also wore silicone shoulder pads beneath my faja straps, because otherwise, my shoulders would look narrow and out of balance with my padded hips. I bought these on AliExpress, as I think they’re more popular in East Asia, but I have to admit that they didn’t last out very well, and I bought new ones regularly to replace the old. They were cheap, though.

On top of all this, I’d usually wear a silk petticoat, if I was wearing a dress, for a smooth and flowing line and to prevent my underwear-construction from being seen through my dress. I held all of the straps—of the bra, the faja, and the petticoat—together with vintage lingerie clips. I really recommend these; they’re so handy, and they keep all of your straps together and stop anything from embarrassingly slipping down your shoulder. I bought mine in a charity shop, but you can find them fairly cheaply on eBay and Etsy.

Other enhancements

I also put on a bunch of other enhancements to boost my looks. At this point, I think I’ll probably sound crazy, and you’re welcome to stop reading, but if you’re still interested...

My eyes aren’t droopy, but I have a bit of hooding from my lids which gives the impression of droopy, tired eyes. I fixed that now with Botox, but at the time, I didn’t have any procedures done at all, so instead, I used the eyelid tape patches ‘Lids by Design’ from Contours RX, and actually, it worked pretty well. I had to adjust my makeup style for it, but they were undetectable (once I finally learnt how to apply them correctly) and gave my eyes a much more aesthetically pleasing shape for the evening.

I love my eye colour, and it’s one of my most complimented features. For dates, I used to enhance it even further by wearing the ‘Define Sparkle’ lenses by Acuvue, which really brought out the bright blue colour and, true to name, made my eyes sparkle. These lenses are unfortunately discontinued now, and I ran out of my stockpile about a year ago—and yes, I cried about it! I still haven’t found anything similar which enhances, not masks, natural blue eyes. If anyone has any recommendations, please, please tell me!!! I would still be wearing these lenses every day if I could. If your natural eye colour isn’t blue, then you’re in luck: there are lots of enhancing lenses from Korea and Japan made for darker eye colours. I hear that the brand Olens is particularly good.

I also used to use Lumify drops to whiten my eyes and make them sparkle. I haven’t used these drops since my squint surgery, because I’m now paranoid about putting anything which isn’t sterile saline in my eyes, but they were really effective. Warnings about the dangers of vasodilators etc. etc., and I wouldn’t personally use them again, but if you want something that works and don’t really care about your eye health, then these do the trick.

This is really silly, but I wore a tiny little plastic insert from Nose Secret, designed to lift up my nose tip. The ironic thing is, I don’t have a droopy nose tip in the slightest! I always worry that wearing this made me look like some kind of Miss Piggy lookalike, but photo evidence from those days seems to be safe, so maybe I didn’t. Anyway, it worked pretty well for reducing the visual appearance of the bump on the bridge of my nose—so, to my girls who haven’t yet had a rhinoplasty, or don’t want one, but still hate their nose, this could be for you. Just don’t, like, inhale the plastic or anything. I really don’t want to be held liable for a choking death!

The rest was more standard: I’d wear a halo extension piece with a couple of seamless clip-ins to add length and volume to my hair, my nails would be done in my usual gel style, I wore individual fake eyelashes mapped out to suit my eye shape, and I did my makeup slightly heavier than I usually would, in a sort of ‘soft, candlelit glow’ style.

Outfit and accessories

I wore different outfits for different kinds of dates (obviously), but I did have a sort of basic dress code that I adhered to, depending on activity and occasion. Formal dinner dates called for a body-skimming, but not tight or bandage, dress with sheer stockings and mid-height stilettos. Casual lunches, teas, museum trips, etc. were usually a pretty day dress and flats. More artsy events (and men) got a brightly-coloured silk halterneck and black wool trousers, usually with block heels. Make-or-break, once-in-a-lifetime dates meant that I could pull out my seamed stockings and favourite bombshell wiggle dress. I never wore open-toe shoes on a date. Regardless of the occasion, I always brought a clutch—it tells him a thousand silent words about your expectations! I’d recommend having a small collection of clutch bags for day and evening wear. My jewellery was always minimal, and I didn’t ever wear any obviously branded pieces; usually just a fun pair of earrings that matched my outfit, and maybe a tennis bracelet for the evening.

A final word...

I know that these kinds of temporary enhancements are a lot. I want to stress that I haven’t ever worn this level of fakery on a regular basis. It was, and still is, just for when I know that I want to look as good as I possibly, possibly can. You don’t have to do what I did—you can take what is useful to you, and leave the rest, even if that happens to be leaving all of it, and privately laughing a little at this insane girl who is writing about her beauty routines on the internet. Still, I hope this is helpful to someone!

Benefits of National Level NGO Registration

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a significant role in shaping society by addressing social, environmental and economic issues. They are independent entities that work towards the betterment of communities. In most countries, NGOs operate without any legal recognition or registration, which makes it difficult for them to function effectively. However, national level ngo registration can provide many benefits for these organizations. Google Map: ngo consultancy.

Is the tea brand called marriage? sorry idk anything about teas lol.

Do you have recipe for the matcha ice cream? love matcha foods <3

It's called Mariage Fréres! They're one of my favorite brands ( though I only treat myself to pretty packaging and their tea jams when I've saved enough money to splurge ). Their Wedding Imperial ( black tea ) is to die for. and of course! here is the recipe for the matcha ice cream ^^

ingredients

80g White chocolate

20g Matcha Powder ( it doesn't really matter what grade, just not the sweetened kind used in drinks! and matcha oxidizes really quickly, so check and make sure it's not too old :) )

100g Milk

240g Heavy Cream

60g Sweetened condensed milk

WHITE CHOCOLATE MIXTURE ->

melt white chocolate completely ( using the microwave or a double boiler )

once melted, immediately sift the matcha powder into the hot white chocolate mixture, little by little ( it will become a thick paste ) mix until smooth. you'll want to stir the white chocolate while it's hot otherwise it's a nightmare to work with

add milk little by little, and mix slowly till smooth WHIPPED CREAM ->

Make whipped cream with your heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk.

combine WHITE CHOCOLATE MIXTURE with WHIPPED CREAM using a wooden spoon ( not a hand mixer or a silicon spatula -> only a utensil that is really stiff will work )

set in a container and freeze, or run in an ice cream machine for 20-25 minutes.

POST FREEZING usually, after the ice cream has been in the fridge for a little while ( 30 minutes to an hour ), I'll take it out and give it a mix just to make sure it doesn't end up rock-hard after freezing.

it's super simple! my family enjoys it with shiratama dango, kinako and kuromitsu or in anmitsu!

Goldsickness collection

So I bound a collection of goldsickness-centered fics and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. This post is about the binding, and I'll do the fic recs in another post so they can be found separately later, but I'll still say a huge THANK YOU to the authors here for writing these and replying when I reached out!

A list of the fics:

As Befits a King by @ladysisyphus

Chains of Gold by Plooby

What was promised by @stillparanoidnolongerafridge

Lay your troubles down by @avelera

Covet by @pomgore

Red Lines in Dark Stone by @elenothar

Of Monsters and Men by MsThunderFrost

Burning with a magnificent madness by EmilianaDarling

My intention with this binding was to make a book that could look like a jewel in Thrór's treasure hoard. I wanted it to evoke opulence, so it's voluntarily very busy for the eye. The fabric is holographic golden pleather (which is so hard to take a picture of, the book actually looks darker and truly gold, but the camera shows reflections from every angle), it looks like it's shifting in the light (and it gives me a headache if I stare at it too long, but I want to stare at it, which echoes the gold getting to Thorin's head nicely). The endpapers are sparkly like silver and diamond dust, and I gilded the edges for the first time. Notice the black headbands and blue ribbon as a callback to Thorin's hair and eyes.

This fantastic fanart and its colors were part of my inspiration.

Mistakes What I learned this time

The book has flaws, of course. The main problem is that I did a straight spine instead of a round one as I usally do: I misjudged the size difference between the text block and the cover, it should have been bigger because of the added thickness of the spine. I used a fabric that's very thick and unwieldy and not made for bookbinding, so I have big prominent corners. And since this is the first time I use a guillotine, I need to loose some habits I had when typesetting to get my margins to look good without cutting. This time, I actually could cut, and it was too tight. The acrylic paint gilding isn't great either.

But!

It's fine. It's a small book, but all the text I wanted to preserve is there, it's beautiful to me, and I'm very proud!
