The documents and interviews with dozens of people who lived under their rule show that the group at times offered better services and proved itself more capable than the government it had replaced.

It's time to set up our nativity scene again. I arrange the figurines on the coffee table, according to the picture on the box. As I lay Christ into his moulded manger, I realize he won't be here long. Within minutes, the last place I'll find him is in the manger. For in our house, God can be touched, so there's no telling where he might end up.

Lacta chocolate started in the 1960s as Galacta, named for gala, the Greek word for milk. In the ’90s, the brand tried to move away from being known as a kids’ candy and focused on a new slogan: ‘‘The sweetest part of your life.’’ The company doubled down in 2010, crowdsourcing love stories from its fans and vowing to create a video out of the winning submission. It received 1,307 stories and made a 27-minute video, with more than 11,000 people voting online to choose the actors, character names and wardrobes; some even served as extras. ‘‘Love in Action’’ was shown on Greece’s biggest TV channel on Valentine’s Day. Today Lacta is one of the best-selling milk chocolate brands in the country.

For Thornburrow, the main challenge is balancing the needs of her target market with the practicalities of Hong Kong, which imports nearly all of its food. Zero-waste bloggers, such as US-based pioneers Bea Johnson and Lauren Singer, extol the benefits of locally grown organic produce, which cuts down on packaging and food air miles, and supports regional suppliers. Live Zero’s food range will be “80 per cent” organic, but finding certified organic food meant looking for suppliers outside China.

Pastillas are popular milk-based candies, originally from San Miguel in the Philippines. The traditional recipe combines the milk of the carabao, the water buffalo that serves as the country’s national animal, with powdered milk and sugar, and calls for the resulting soft candy to be rolled into small logs and covered in paper wrappers. In the Bulacan region, the wrappers, called pabalat, have become a bit of an art form with cut-paper designs. Pastillas are a celebratory candy and are often given for birthdays and weddings.

On my first trip back to Iraq, I showed the leases to a local police officer. He recognized the angular signature and offered to escort me to the home of the ISIS bureaucrat.
