CINCINNATI— The Bengals are close to reaching a deal for right tackle La’el Collins, according to All Bengals league sources.
The 28-year-old is in Cincinnati to visit the team. He met and spent a lot of time with Zac Taylor, Joe Burrow and other members of the organization on Friday.
“It’s close to the finish line,” a source said.
Bengals offensive line coach Frank Pollack coached Collins at Dallas for three seasons (2015-17).
“I had a great relationship with LC. I love him to death. He definitely fits the mold of a glass eater,” Pollack said Friday. “Look at his tape, it’s clearly evident. He’s naughty and he was a lot of fun to train. So we’ll see with all that.”
It’s unclear whether Cincinnati will sign Collins to a multi-year deal or a short-team contract, but things are moving in the right direction.
The Bengals signed veteran offensive linemen Alex Cappa and Ted Karras this week. Bringing Collins into the fold would completely change the perception of a unit that has come under heavy criticism in recent seasons.
They struggled to protect Burrow in 2021. The star quarterback was sacked 70 times in 20 games [including playoffs].
Collins could certainly help protect Burrow and fortify an offensive line that was a major weakness last season. Things are progressing, but they are not over.
Look for the Bengals and Collins to potentially finalize things on Saturday. He has no further visits scheduled at this time, which bodes well for both parties finding common ground and agreeing a contract.

Olajumoke is rude, comes home late – Babydaddy cries out
Sunday Orisaguna, lover of bread seller turned famous model, Olajumoke Orisaguna has in an explosive interview obtained by TVCONTINENTAL, revealed that the model had suddenly become rude and that she comes home late since she tasted fame.
In a recent interview, Olajumoke’s live-in-lover, Sunday Orisaguna, said life has been incredibly tough and that his lover’s superstar status has been more of an encumbrance than a blessing.
“There’s hardly anything that I can’t do for survival as long as it’s legitimate,” he said.
View this post on Instagram
“Sujimoto has been of tremendous help to us, though he couldn’t help me as he promised. I appreciate that it was him God used to put a roof over our heads.
“Every time I attempt to get a job, I get scorned because they keep seeing the mother of my children as a superstar. Even recently, I asked someone to help me process a vehicle to own on hire purchase so that I can be driving it for commercial purpose. I can work even at car-wash outlets, as long as the job is legitimate, I don’t mind. That’s how bad things are.”
Though they live together and have two kids; Grace, 8 and Semilore, 3, the lovers are not married. Sunday alleged that his family’s efforts to get Olajumoke to consent to either traditional or legal marriage have been abortive.
He said: “My parents had sent words to her mother for about three years now that it was time to formalise our union but Olajumoke has continued to turn down the proposal while insisting that the time isn’t right yet. So, marriage or no marriage is up to her.”
Olajumoke rose to fame in 2016, these was three years ago.
Olajumoke Orisaguna was a simple bread seller who hawked her wares from street to street just to meet the needs of her children. However, by being at the right place at the right time, all of these changed and the beautiful 30-year-old lady found her godmother in the person of TY Bello.
Ever since TY Bello stumbled on Olonode Street, Yaba, Lagos, her life has never ceased to be a realistic model for many who lived and breathed in the world of fantasy. For one, TY Bello and Azuka Ogujiuba, a former senior reporter with This Day, joined forces to make a model and celebrity out of Olajumoke.
View this post on Instagram
Even more, several top firms caught the ‘Olajumoke flux’ and they tried relentlessly to accord the former bread seller the needed souvenirs deserving of a Nigerian Cinderella like her.
She went on to be featured on CNN and BBC just as she got a five-year rent of a fully furnished apartment and several modelling contracts with high flying organisations.
However, according to eelive, the former bread seller isn’t doing as well as she was, 3 years ago. Even her relationship with Sunday Orisaguna, the father of her two children, is far from being good.
Eelive, reveals life with Olajumoke especially Sunday, hasn’t been good as hard times have stirred them in the face in recent tines. Sunday reveals also that both Olajumoke and her family have refused plans for them to formalise their union.
According to the report, life became tough with Olajumoke, when Azuka Ogujiuba, her former manager, parted ways with her.
“I think she was better when she was with Azuka because Azuka and TY Bello have great connections that paid Olajumoke more”, Sunday further confirmed to eelive.
“I just know her manager calls her, they go out and return late. Sometimes she returns as late as past 12am and without explanations. She doesn’t even tell me where they go and what happens,” he added.

Food insecurity is consistently more prevalent in households of people living with diabetes, and particularly high among households of children with diabetes. With healthy eating at the cornerstone of all diabetes care strategies for both adults and children, FI can have a significant negative impact on diabetes management. Hence, there is growing recognition of the importance of FI routine screening to help clinicians tailor diabetes management plans for FI households. For instance, knowledge of FI could guide clinicians to provide FI families with more realistic dietary recommendations, adjust medication regimens, and identify patients at increased risk of poor FI-related health outcomes, such as asthma, depression, and obesity. A positive screen could direct patients to affordable sources of healthy foods.
The Council on Community Pediatrics recommends universal screening for FI in children. The American Diabetes Association recommends clinicians to assess FI, apply that information to treatment decisions, and refer patients to community resources, while the Canadian Diabetes Association guidelines recognize that individuals’ ability to adopt healthy lifestyles is influenced by their social conditions. Nevertheless, despite its implications for children’s health, FI screening is not yet part of routine clinical practice, while how to screen and the efficacy of screening strategies are still understudied.
Our research projects have evaluated the implementation of two FI screening initiatives in a diabetes pediatric clinic and in a community health center by assessing the acceptability and the feasibility of these screening initiatives from the perspective of both families and clinicians. Results show that screening provides FI families an opportunity to express their concerns and become aware of affordable food resources. Most FI families feel comfortable answering screening questions, although some of them may describe stigma and fear of judgment by clinicians. Findings also show that clinicians are willing to incorporate FI screening, especially if a standardized tool is available and effective referral resources to address social adversities exist.
To increase screening uptake and minimize the disruption of clinicians’ workflow, FI screening can be administered in self-reported computer-based formats, which in turn facilitate the integration of FI screening into families’ electronic medical records (EMR). An automated EMR default process may also support routine screening and continuity of practice among clinicians, as it helps them to share information about families.
This research encourages the implementation of similar FI screening initiatives in other clinical, community and primary care settings as part of routine clinical practice, which will ensure that FI individuals and children receive treatment plans tailored to their FI circumstances and are linked to community resources.

Smithville softball run-rules Eastside Memorial
Smithville took just three innings to dispose of Eastside Memorial in a 27-0 drubbing on Friday.
The Tigers got a perfect game from pitcher Marlee Deleon in the circle. She retired all nine batters she faced and struck out two while her team lit up the scoreboard early and often.
Seven different Tigers finished with multiple hits and every Smithville player scored a run in the win.
Mihyia Davis was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and a triple, Brooke Otto belted a homer and finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs, Nicolette Schmidt was 3-for-4 with two RBIs, Gabby Leal was 2-for-4 with two RBIs, Marlee Deleon was 3-for-4 with two RBIs, Abby Kennon was 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs, Kiara Trivino was 2-for-4 with five RBIs and Kiyanna Sampson was 3-for-4 with three RBIs. Smithville belted out 20 hits and struck out just time.
The Tigers put up 18 runs in the first inning alone, following that up with two in the second and seven in the third before the game was called due to the 10-run mercy rule. They are currently ranked No. 3 in Class 4A according to the Texas Softball Coaches Association. Smithville played a pivotal game against La Grange on Tuesday in which a win would all but clinch the District 20-4A title. The Tigers will wrap up the regular season on Friday with a road date at Giddings.

Bruins Rally Past Mustangs
By Abbey Mastracco
Special to CollegeBaseballInsider.com
LOS ANGELES —
It was almost as if two different games were
played between No. 2 Cal Poly and No. 1 UCLA, Saturday night at
Jackie Robinson Stadium.
The Mustangs, who got to Bruins starter Nick
Vander Tuig early and often for a 4-0 lead, undoubtedly would
have won the first one.
But the game changed in the sixth inning and the
Bruins took control from there, erasing the deficit and then
some to complete a comeback and win 6-4 in their second game of
the Los Angeles Regional.
“Two storylines, really; they jumped on us the
first three innings – they mugged us basically,” UCLA coach John
Savage said. “They did a good job against Nick, and then the
game kind of turned.”
Cal Poly (40-18) was cruising, and starter Matt
Imhof was dealing through five innings. The big left-hander was
masterful, no-hitting the Bruins and facing just one above the
minimum with four strikeouts until the game came to a screeching
halt in the sixth.
Pat Gallagher started the sixth by lacing the
first pitch he saw down the left-field line for a double to
break up the no-hit bid. Imhof soon found himself in trouble
from there, giving up a single and a walk before Gallagher
scored on a fly ball to make the score 4-1.
Imhof faced one more batter and gave up an
infield single to Eric Filia before he was pulled in favor of
the closer, Reed Reilly. Reilly struck out Pat Valaika and
looked to be out of trouble with a routine fly ball.
But it was then that the game went awry for the
Right fielder Nick Torres lost track of the ball
in the lights, and it dropped a few feet in front of him at the
warning track. Kevin Williams was able to make it all the way
around to third easily for a bases-clearing triple to score
three and tie the game at 4.
“It wasn’t until the ball got down below the
lights that I saw it again and I was able to pick it up. By that
time it was just too late,” Torres said. “Feels like it always
seems to happen like that. Just for that one inning where the
lighting was really bad. We came out the next inning and of
course it was dark enough and we could see the ball clear.”
Imhof saw things a little different.
“They started picking me in like the fourth or
fifth. I was tipping my pitches I guess,” Imhof said. “In the
sixth it started becoming a little more routine. I think they
almost got every pitch in the sixth. I gave them enough of an
advantage that they were able to put some good swings on some
However, UCLA’s hitters argued otherwise.
“That would have been nice,” Williams said. “But
we didn’t have any tipped pitches or any verbals or anything,
(we) just tried to compete at the plate.”
Vander Tuig (11-4), who was shaky at best through
four, was able to recover, settling down to retire three of four
in his final inning, becoming the pitcher of record and
ultimately earning the win.
“Cal Poly battled me pretty well,” Vander Tuig
said. “They were aggressive early, exactly what the scouting
report said. I made some mistakes early and they hit them. I
gave them all I had for six innings.”
Reilly (2-4) took the loss for Cal Poly.
The win guarantees UCLA (41-17) a spot in the
championship game for the second straight year. The Bruins again
will play in the 6 p.m. game, facing the winner of tomorrow’s 2
p.m., game between Cal Poly and No. 3 San Diego.

Prison officers in England and Wales are to be issued with canisters of a synthetic pepper spray to help deal with violence and disorder.
The chemical incapacitant known as PAVA has been trialled in four jails and will be carried by officers in all publicly-run prisons for men from 2019.
Prison officers welcomed the move.
But the announcement came as the Prison Governors Association (PGA) accused the government of failing to react quickly enough to a “crisis” in jails.
The decision to introduce the spray at a cost of £2m follows what the Ministry of Justice says was a “successful” six-month trial at Hull, Preston, Risley and Wealstun prisons.
Ministers say the spray acted as a deterrent and it is also thought it helped give staff greater confidence to deal with dangerous situations.
The Ministry of Justice said the spray will only be deployed in limited circumstances when there is serious violence or an imminent risk of it taking place and officers will receive training before being allowed to carry it.
In a speech to the PGA conference, president Andrea Albutt will acknowledge there is a “more positive feel” in jails after staffing levels were increased and security boosted.
But she will say there has been a “subtle campaign” to blame governors for problems and claimed ministers did not have the “humility” to admit their policies – which had included budget cuts – were wrong.
A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said: “Senior managers in prisons do vital work and we are grateful for their dedication and commitment.
“We acknowledge the ongoing challenges they face and, as the president notes, we have taken meaningful action to address them which is starting to yield results.”

Kerze (1983) by Gerhard Richter
Life goes on back in LA and Friday saw Sonic Youth roll into the Greek Amphitheater for a sold-out show on their Daydream Nation
tour. As previously mentioned here
Sonic Youth are performing the entire 1988 album throughout the US this year. It was a beautiful night that, for me, was filled with some surprises. I’ve always loved Daydream Nation
. When I was in college, I thought it was a post-modern masterpiece. Manic, driven, and discordant, the music seemed to be coming together and falling apart simultaneously. It is a recording that is both frayed around the edges and urgently going everywhere at once. Having seen live performances of the band at the time (and several times before and since), I was greatly looking forward to this show and while it wasn't what I expected, it was still a marvelous thing.
Sonic Youth have never rested on their laurels and while they have inspired the launch of a hundred anemic facsimiles, they have moved on and the show reflected the reality – they are not the band or the people they were nearly 20 years ago and their performance should not simply be an attempt to recapture the past. Instead of wallowing in a post-punk nostalgia for what never was, the band delivered a show that brought out many melancholic aspects of the music that, while certainly always there, were not as prominent before. The songs seemed as much about memory and regret as anything else and, while there were still the driven and forceful moments throughout, the work floated in the air with a sense of looking back critically. Not unlike the Gerhard Richter
(1983) that graces the cover of the album, the multiple layers in these expertly crafted songs revealed themselves and the searing call to arms became a remembrance of things past.
The show ended with several songs of new material from the most recent disc Rather Ripped
which, while formidable in their own right, seemed rather like Dick Dale surf-guitar numbers in the wake of the prior 70 minutes. But the die had already been cast. While the crowd was still filled with numerous young men screaming out Thurston Moore’s name like some infatuated pre-teen girl, it was an older crowd overall and I couldn’t help but think like many other most likely did, what exactly have we put behind us and what haven’t we?


Russia remains supportive of Maduro - Hails Norway-brokered Venezuela talks
Russia’s envoy on Venezuela said Wednesday that an international mediation effort between Nicolás Maduro’s government and the opposition have raised a glimmer of hope for settling the crisis, strongly warning the United States against using force.
Alexander Shchetinin, head of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Latin America Department, told The Associated Press in a wide-ranging interview that the Norway talks have produced a “chance, albeit very fragile, for political and diplomatic solution”.
Shchetinin represented Russia at a meeting in Stockholm earlier this month aimed at advancing political reconciliation, which also involved representatives of the United Nations, the Vatican, Cuba and the European Union. He said the main goal of the meeting was to discuss possible assistance to mediation efforts being taken by Norway, which recently sponsored two rounds of talks between the two sides.
Shchetinin said that despite deep distrust between Maduro’s government and the opposition, there is a “real chance” of success.
The envoy’s strong support for Maduro contrasts with the 77 assessment of the dialogue effort. A senior US official said Tuesday that he sees little chances of success for the Norway talks. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to discuss policy on Venezuela publicly.
The US and several dozen other nations have cast their support behind opposition leader Juan Guaidó and recognised him as Venezuela’s interim president, asserting that Maduro’s re-election last year was illegitimate.
Shchetinin criticised Washington for what he described as “extremely rude meddling in Venezuelan affairs”, adding that “you can’t appoint a president from abroad”.
He said any settlement must be based on international law and respect for Venezuela’s sovereignty.
“Any forceful interference from abroad, and particularly military interference, must be excluded,” he said. “Any options could be on the table, except the military option. That would be a catastrophe for the region.”
Shchetinin said that he and other Russian representatives have been talking to various opposition figures alongside the government, but wouldn’t name any names. He emphasised that Moscow always lets Maduro’s government know about its contacts with the opposition.
The diplomat argued that Moscow would be open to any settlement that would reflect the will of Venezuelans, and acknowledged that Guaidó represents some of the country’s political forces. At the same time, he criticised Guaidó for what he described as excessive reliance on US advice.
“The problem is that Mr Guaidó has shown himself in recent months as a politician who lacks independence,” Shchetinin said. “Regrettably, he has coordinated his every step with the US administration.”
A spokesman for Guaidó did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Shchetinin cautioned the US against encouraging the Venezuelan military to switch loyalties and back Guaidó, saying that strategy is fraught with unpredictable consequences.
“It’s very dangerous to destabilise any country’s military,” Shchetinin said, pointing to Iraq and its military officers who joined in militant factions following the 2003 US invasion. “Trying to rock the military and encourage desertions, to tell the military to switch sides, means opening the Pandora’s box.”
He noted that despite some senior officers supporting Guaidó, “the Venezuelan armed forces have remained loyal to their constitutional duty” and stood by Maduro.
Shchetinin also argued that US sanctions on Venezuela have deepened the country’s economic crisis and hurt the Venezuelan people. He cited a programme funded by the Venezuelan state oil company under which Venezuelan children received expensive cancer treatments abroad. He claimed children have died since the programme was frozen in May because of the US sanctions.
He said US officials painted an exaggerated picture of Russian involvement in supporting the Venezuelan government. No new arms contracts have been signed and Russian experts sent to Venezuela to help maintain weapons from previous contracts number in the dozens, not hundreds, he said.


On 9 June, Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) was published in the Official Journal of the EU.
This marks a momentous milestone for crypto markets in Europe. A sound legal framework that clearly defines the regulatory treatment of crypto-assets will reap benefits for Europe, and some findings already show a rapid increase in VC funding in European crypto startup companies (according to Pitchbook in Q2 2023, Europe accounted for 48% of all VC funding that went to crypto startups1).
With MiCA, Europe seals its position as a global standards setter in the crypto space, and several other jurisdictions are already using MiCA as a blueprint in order to stay competitive in the global market (UK, Switzerland, Australia and Hong Kong).
Once it goes live, MiCA will apply to:
Classification of crypto-assets will therefore have to be done on case-by-case basis. For instance:
To support the market with these assessments, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) will further specify the conditions under which crypto-assets are considered to be financial instruments (i.e., in scope of existing financial service regulations) or vice versa and, as such, captured by MiCA.
The below graphic further helps to demonstrate classification.
MiCA will start to apply from 30 December 2024. Exceptionally however, issuers and CASP for stablecoins (or in MiCA’s preferred terminology, asset-reference tokens or ARTs) and e-money tokens must comply by 30 June 2024 and will have to obtain authorization under MiCA before this date.
While the market should waste no time in developing their crypto strategy, many critical aspects about how the new rules should be implemented in practice are delegated to secondary rulemaking (known in the EU policy as “Level 2” measures). In most cases, it will be left up to ESMA to develop these rules as either regulatory or implementing technical standards (RTS/ITS). Practically speaking, this means crypto players will be left with another 12–18-months period of policy uncertainty in some areas of the law. To bridge this gap and considering the tight compliance deadlines, market players are advised to closely follow consultative versions of these technical standards when released, as in our experience these turn out to be very similar to the final texts.
Financial firms are already subject to strict sectoral rules notably in relation to capital requirements. Not to duplicate these requirements, financial entities will not need another authorization under MiCA in order to provide crypto-asset services that are equivalent to those services for which they are already authorized under existing financial services regulation. However, financial firms will still have to comply with most of the other MiCA rules, notably in relation to organizational and conduct requirements.
In this context, banks specifically are advised not to overlook the Basel Committee’s framework on prudential treatment of banks' exposures to crypto-assets that will complement MiCA. Even though subject to EU implementation, these international standards should be taken into account by EU banks that wish to engage in this market when they do their business and capital planning. This regulatory precision is particularly advantageous for less risky (Group 1) crypto-assets, as it provides clear regulatory capital and compliance requirements. Consequently, banks will be able to plan for adequate capital and compliance, fostering the growth of these crypto-assets.
On the other hand, presently unregulated firms operating in the crypto space must get used to the obligations that come with being a fully regulated entity. Such firms will need MiCA authorization and will be subject to an array of prudential and organizational requirements. Crypto firms with viable business proposition and consumer protection measures will have ample opportunities as they will stand out from the questionable projects and proceed to thrive in growing crypto economy.
MiCA is a type of EU legislation – a “Regulation” – that will directly apply in each Member State as such (does not require national transposition). This said, not all Member States are the same and their crypto business maturity and the approach toward innovative projects vary widely.
Luxembourg is among a small number of Member States to have already established rules directly targeting CASPs by permitting such actors to register with the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) to provide their activities. This national regime allows crypto players to bridge the legal void until MiCA comes into play and consequently, approach investors in Luxembourg with the support of the local regulator.
The future is even more promising. Once MiCA goes live, those already registered and familiar to the CSSF could be perceived positively as trusted local players. Once licensed in Luxembourg under MiCA, CASPs will benefit from an EU passport and can expand their activities to reach investors across the EU.
Furthermore, Luxembourg has already established an attractive legal framework for security tokens as provided under the following three Blockchain Laws:
This legislative framework proved to be a great attraction for issuers and key stakeholders of the security value chain. Several digital assets projects have been launched based on the Luxembourg framework, including the HSBC Orion platform and Goldman Sachs’ project Venus.
MiCA’s arrival is the last piece of the puzzle to complement the existing Luxembourg regime and will position its marketplace as the place to be for forward-thinking actors that wish to fully tap the potential of digital assets and DLT.

At a news conference last week during the annual Mackinac Policy Conference, a collection of Michigan business, government, transportation and engineering groups criticized the Michigan Legislature’s lack of assistance for the state’s infrastructure efforts.
“Many studies have documented Michigan’s infrastructure repair needs as massive, and we know what it’s going to take to fix it,” Mike Nystrom, executive vice-president of the Michigan Transportation & Infrastructure Association (MITA), said. “But the Legislature doesn’t have a plan and has eliminated all money from a fund that was specifically proposed to start the process of fixing some of the most pressing problems. We can’t blame this Legislature for the condition of our infrastructure, as inaction over many decades brought us here. But it is up to our state elected leaders to provide a long-term solution, and they continue to do nothing but ignore the problem.”
The Detroit Regional Chamber, Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce and Business Leaders for Michigan (BLM) have joined ranks in noting infrastructure fixes as a top issue, from aging dams to neglected water systems and the state’s hotly debated network of roads and bridges.
The call for change comes in spite of separate studies by the Gov. Rick Snyder’s 21st Century Infrastructure Commission and the BLM, which concluded months ago that Michigan would need to invest $4 billion more every year for around 20 years to address the state’s infrastructure needs.

The lean engineering of the TAMUFO series makes it an extremely efficient and affordable LED fixture for industrial high bay applications.
The TAMUFO series features high-quality Philips LED chips and a high-quality driver, which produce over 148 lumens per watt, making this fixture extremely economical while still producing high-quality light. Since high bays often operate in industrial applications where lighting can be on for up to 24 hours and function at high wattages, energy efficiency has a direct impact on the bottom line.
Built with die-cast aluminum housing, our TAMUFO series high bays are extremely durable and long lasting. Not only are they sturdier than fixtures with all steel housings, die-cast aluminum housings provide other advantages as well.
For example, because aluminum dissipates heat much faster than steel, the entire body of the fixture acts as a heat sink, giving the fixture a longer life by keeping it cooler in high temperatures, allowing the LEDs to operate more efficiently.
Another benefit to our die-cast aluminum housing is the fact that aluminum is naturally non-corrosive, allowing for environmental resistance without additional costly treatments. Because of this combination of aluminum and powder-coating, the TAMUFO series is IP65 rated and under warranty for 7-years.

Flood tank form
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Method of attack:
Flood tank forms are not unlike the similar thrasher forms, encountered on Trove. Unlike the thrashers (and all other combat forms), the tank form does not consist of a host controlled by a pod infector, but is instead a type of Flood pure form. Like all pure forms, the tank form is composed of raw Flood biomass, created only when an outbreak reaches the Coordinated Stage. The Flood pure form is capable of mutating whenever it chooses to match the situation at hand, resulting in the tank form being created when under heavy fire.
When a stalker form is cornered or confronted with well-armed opponents, it will often undergo a rapid transformation into a tank form to better defend itself. Most of the stalker's body mass shifts to the frontal body section, forming a muscular torso. The rear limbs are augmented with muscle to serve as legs, while the forelimbs become bulkier and rapidly extrude bone structures to form blade or club-like appendages. In this state, the tank form is more resistant to conventional weaponry and possesses more devastating melee capabilities, but moves at a far slower pace.
Tank forms are quite slow in comparison to combat forms, but they make up for it with relative resilience and devastating melee attacks. They can run on all fours for a short period, allowing a short burst of speed to overtake a target. Tank Forms can spew a torrent of Infection Forms from their 'mouth' as a form of short ranged attack, or in order to infect nearby corpses.
On rare occasions, a Tank Form will mutate directly to/from a ranged form.
Flood tank forms saw use in the Forerunner-Flood war. Following the firing of the Halo Array, Flood tank forms were held aboard Halos Installation 04 and Installation 05 for research and testing. In 2552, many tank forms were able to break containment on Installation 04, and were let loose onto the ring. Several found their way to the ice canyons surrounding the ring's control room, where they were engaged the Covenant and the ODSTs of Fireteam Raven. One tank form was almost able to kill the team, before it was killed by John-117. The fireteam continued to engage tank forms across the ring, before its eventual destruction.
Following the large Flood outbreak on Installation 05 and subsequent Fall of High Charity, the Flood had billions of beings' worth of mass with which to create an army. They began creating massive amounts of new pure forms, including tank forms. Many were encountered by UNSC forces during the Battle of Voi, carried by the Indulgence of Conviction. Later on, tank forms were used by the Gravemind as puppets through which to speak to John-117 and Thel 'Vadam to secure a temporary truce to kill the Prophet of Truth and prevent the firing of the rings. These tank forms assisted the human and Sangheili warriors, guiding them through the loyalist Jiralhanae before turning on them once the crisis was averted. Many Flood tank forms resided within the remains of High Charity following its crash on Installation 00 and attempted to stop John-117 in his mission to rescue Cortana, before later being dropped onto the newly-constructed Installation 08 to to stop the attempted firing of that ring.
- When shot, the Tank Forms usually cover their faces (which are usually their weak spots) with the bony plates on their arms. Try to avoid shooting the plates as they don't take any damage.
- Tank Forms are usually very slow except for the moments where they charge. Try to flank them, but do not move away too much as it may transform into a Ranged Form or Stalker Form to chase after you or to shoot from a distance.
- They are very resilient to most firearms, although plasma seems to affect them more than normal ballistic weaponry. Melee weapons like the Energy Sword and the gravity hammer and most power weapons work very well against them.
- There is an easy way to kill a Tank Form other than using an Energy Sword. If you just melee him in between the two tentacles on his head he will die instantly, although it can be hard to hit it in the kill spot if it's swinging its arms and moving around.
- One direct hit from Flamethrower is sufficient to kill it. Igniting it on fire with Incendiary Grenade also can kill him almost instantly.

- The Flood Juggernaut, a Flood Form cut from Halo 2, was an early concept of the Halo 3 Pure Form. The Sharquoi, another deleted species from Halo 2, may have served as the inspiration for the Tank form. This is further proven by a piece of concept art in The Art of Halo 3 that appears to be three Flood Juggernauts engaging several Marines and the Master Chief in combat.
- The design of the Tank Form is reminiscent of the Drinniol (or "Hulk") enemies from Marathon, one of Bungie's earliest games.
- When a Tank Form takes a hit from a Gravity Hammer, the spike platform can be seen for a few seconds when the Tank Form jumps up.

How far can a 9mm bullet travel?
A 9mm-calibre Luger Parabellum round fired from a handgun travels at about 370m/s.
To optimise its range, it would be fired at an angle of 45° and should cover about 2,300 metres.
Pistols are obviously not long-range weapons.
But heavy artillery is capable of ranges in excess of 30,000 metres..
What weapon has killed the most in history?
No firearm of any kind has killed more people – or been more widely embraced as a symbol – than the AK-47 Kalashnikov. … No less than 75 million are in circulation, according to a World Bank study from 2007, accounting for almost 20 per cent of the entire global stock of firearms.More items…
Are black talons illegal?
Black Talon ammunition has always been legal, but has been withdrawn from the market. It’s replacement is Winchester Ranger or PDX series ammunition. It’s the same thing but without the black Lubalox coating. … If “Black Talon” bullets (rounds) are illegal then the manufacture is breaking the law.
Is rubber bullet proof?
Rubber can stop some rounds (depending on the thickness) but usually not. The rubber allows the bullets to pass through it and then strike a hard surface. Then its energy and original shape are lost so it safely comes to rest between the rubber and the hard surface (usually steel).
Can a person catch a bullet?
Yes. For a very short time the bullet could be in your hand before it rips through. In reality no, you can catch a bullet with your hand by any definition. You certainly couldn’t have time to close your fist around it even if you could catch it.
What is the deadliest bullet?
Considered by many as the world’s deadliest bullet, the G2 Research-produced Radically Invasive Projectile is being marketed by the manufacturer as “the last round you will ever need.” And it’s really pretty lethal!
What stops a bullet?
It normally takes between a 1/4 inch to a 1/2 inch of steel or 3/8 inch to 3/4 inch of aluminum to stop a bullet. Something like a metal target needs to be one solid layer, as does an active backstop. However, something like a safe room or dry-fire station can use layers. Stones are great at breaking up bullets.
What material can stop a bullet?
They may be complex, such as Kevlar, UHMWPE, Lexan, or carbon fiber composite materials, or basic and simple, such as steel or titanium. Bullet resistant materials are often used in law enforcement and military applications to protect personnel from death or serious injury.
What is the strongest bulletproof material?
Their studies found that the energy to puncture layers of graphene is 8-12 times greater than that needed for a comparable mass of steel. The only other material that comes close to graphene in “bullet resistance” is kevlar, which consists of long-chain carbon molecules locked into rigid, layered sheets.
What is the cheapest bullet proof material?
Novana says it has developed an antiballistic material that is just as tough as Kevlar, but less expensive to make. Kevlar has long been the bulletproof material of choice for military and law enforcement agencies.
Can a hand stop a bullet?
A hand is relatively thin cover, and it won’t stop most bullets from simply passing right through it with little loss of energy. The thing it WILL do is deflect the bullet’s travel.
Will a book stop a bullet?
Yes, books will stop a bullet but there are two factors involved. The thickness of the book, the weight and velocity of the bullet. Further just because a book stops one bullet from gun A there is no guarantee a similar book will stop a bullet from gun A. Books are layers of paper, that helps disperse the energy.
Will plywood stop a bullet?
A piece of plywood or drywall will not stop a bullet. It will, though, destabilize it. … There is not much you could find at your local Home Depot that would work to stop a bullet. Even heavy sheet metal, like a car door, will not stop a pistol bullet.
Can a car door stop a bullet?
Standard Car Doors do NOT stop bullets. In fact a small 22 caliber round will pass through a normal car door without much of a problem. If you shoot the car with high calibers the bullets don’t hardly even slow down, let alone stop.
Is glass harder than diamond?
It essentially grows the diamond on a glass substrate via an inexpensive process called chemical vapor deposition. The diamond component is 800 times thinner than a Gorilla Glass 5 panel and stronger than a pane of sapphire glass. … Because diamond is harder, it won’t scratch, but it can shatter.
Could you really curve a bullet?
The bullet cannot deviate its path to such an extent that it makes an ‘S’ curve around an object. … It is so negligible, in fact, that the strongest force amongst all those acting on the bullet is still gravity! In other words, the answer is still NO… mostly.
Why is a .22 so dangerous?
The 22 is so dangerous because it has enough kinetic energy to enter the skull but not enough to exit. It just bounces around a few time’s turning your brain to mush. A round with greater kinetic energy (ie. 9mm, 357, 40, 45) can pass right though the skull conceivable doing less damage, a through and through.
Do bullets come down when fired in the air?
Bullets fired into the air usually fall back with terminal velocities much lower than their muzzle velocity when they leave the barrel of a firearm. Nevertheless, people can be injured, sometimes fatally, when bullets discharged into the air fall back down to the ground.
Can a diamond stop a bullet?
Diamond, being an extremely hard substance, is inherently brittle. If you were able to have a large enough plate made of diamond, it could, theoretically, stop a bullet by absorbing the energy of the impact through the shattering.
Can Silk stop a bullet?
Instead of high-cost Kevlar vests, researchers have discovered that armour made from traditional Thai silk offers similar levels of protection. Tests show that a speeding 9mm bullet can be stopped dead by just 16 thin layers of silk. Use of silk to protect against injury is not a new development.
Can I crush a diamond with a hammer?
As an example, you can scratch steel with a diamond, but you can easily shatter a diamond with a hammer. The diamond is hard, the hammer is strong. … Hit steel with a hammer of any material and it just absorbs the blow by shifting the ions sideways instead of shattering.
Can a sword block a bullet?
Parrying bullets is when a character uses a sword (or other melee weapon) to block gunshots. Characters capable of this are able to wield their blade with such speed and precision that they can swat bullets out of the air — in extreme cases, even emerging from automatic weapons fire completely unscathed.
Can a gun shoot in space?
Fires can’t burn in the oxygen-free vacuum of space, but guns can shoot. Modern ammunition contains its own oxidizer, a chemical that will trigger the explosion of gunpowder, and thus the firing of a bullet, wherever you are in the universe. No atmospheric oxygen required.
Why does a bullet when fired against a glass windowpane make a hole in it?
When the bullet strikes the glass pane, the part of the glass pane which comes in contact with the bullet immediately shares the large velocity of bullet and makes a hole. While the remaining part of the glass remains at restand is therefore not smashed due to inertia of rest.
Can you melt a diamond?
Diamond isn’t easy to melt, which is why the scientists used Sandia’s Z machine, the world’s largest X-ray generator, to subject tiny squares of diamond, only a few nanometers thick, to pressures more than 10 million times the atmosphere’s pressure at sea level. … The diamond melted then re solidified.
Can the human eye see a bullet?
Except for tracers, bullets coming AT you are not easily seen; in most cases human reaction time will be too short to dodge a short range bullet , although one fired from a significant distance may have a time of flight of possibly up to two seconds.

NEW DELHI: The Centre is unlikely to provide any worthwhile subsidy on wheat exports once the over-two-year-old ban is lifted even as speculation is rife that the country may extend dole-outs for offloading its huge reserves to create storage space for fresh crops.
The government may instead enhance supply in the domestic market and pass on the benefit of huge stocks to people through its different schemes if it is to offload wheat at a subsidised rate in the international market. "We may not export it at a subsidised rate after the ban is lifted. If the global prices are lower and demand is less, we may sell it in the domestic market and raise allocation under different schemes to ensure that prices are kept in check," a senior government official said. "If we are to extend subsidy to exports why should we not provide the dole-out in the domestic market and benefit our own people," he argued.
The government did not lift the ban on wheat exports slapped in February 2007 even after building huge stocks as it played safe and did not want a repetition of the situation in 2006 and 2007 when India had to import a total of 73 lakh tonnes at higher prices to meet the domestic demand, according to him.
Earlier, the US department of agriculture (USDA) had said that India might need to extend an export subsidy as Indian wheat would otherwise be uncompetitive because of the high local support price of Rs 1,080 a quintal. "Lack of storage space may not be much of a problem as stocks can be transferred if necessary to other locations in the country where there is adequate space," the official said. "Only Haryana and Punjab may witness some storage problems but there would be space in other states."
Last month, food and agriculture minister Sharad Pawar had asked states to lift wheat from buffer stocks as about 136 lakh tonnes of the grain was still lying from the last year's procurement even as it was fully prepared to procure the grain from the new crop starting April. In 2008, the Food Corporation of India had procured a record 226.8 lakh tonnes of wheat.
The government had also told Parliament last month that the FCI had estimated that an additional capacity for 43.6 lakh tonnes was required in Punjab and 44.8 lakh tonnes in Haryana for storing wheat in the 2009-10 Rabi marketing season.
Earlier this month the government is believed to have agreed in principle to allow the export of 2 million tonnes of wheat after the general elections.
The Centre is set to start fresh procurement of wheat in about a week. The country is expected to produce wheat close to the last year's record level of 78.57 million tonnes.

Melissa Joan Hart is driving us crazy with this Britney #tbt
Sometimes we need a reminder that the kooky stuff that happened in the late 1990s actually, well, happened. Thankfully, Melissa Joan Hart is here for us, posting an Instagram on Wednesday that was the perfect early #tbt. It’s a snippet from Britney Spears’s music video for her hit “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” featuring Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier after the duo starred in the 1999 movie Drive Me Crazy, (which featured the song in its soundtrack).
This isn’t the only time Melissa and Britney collaborated. Britney also appeared in an episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch the same year, and clips from the music video appeared in the credits. I did not have to look that up. I just know because that is the information my brain chooses to keep.
The duo also once hit the club together, which Melissa recounted during an interview on the Bethenny show in 2013, reports Us Weekly.
“She was underage so I snuck her in the backdoor and we did a little dancing,” Melissa said, referring to the pop star. “And then people sort of swarmed on top of her and then she got stuck at a table hanging out with people, chitchatting. I was like, ‘I’ve got to go to work tomorrow can I go?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, go, I am good. They will get me home.'”
We love this friendship, especially because it’s one that’s lasted the test of time. Just last year, Melissa attended the Britney: Pieces Of Me show:
And we hope that if this Sabrina The Teenage Witch reboot ever happens, Britney would be the first to offer a cameo. Fingers crossed!

LAHORE: If the 1934 Police Act is taken as a benchmark, the Punjab police need another 20,000 officials to meet the law and order requirements in the province, Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs Raja Basharat told the provincial assembly.
Responding to questions about the home department, he said according to the Act, a policeman is required for every 450 people. According to those calculations, 20,000 more people are required in the province and the government is in the process of recruiting them.
The house was also told that currently the Child Protection and Welfare Bureaus (CPWBs) were working in eight (Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Rawalpindi, Multan, Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan) districts and the government has plans to extend them to 13 more (Kasur, Gujrat, Hafizabad, Chakwal, Jehlum, Vehari, Mianwali, Bhakkar, Pakpattan, Rajanpur, Layyah, Jhang and Muzaffargarh) districts in the first phase of expansion. Budgetary allocations have already been made in the current fiscal.
In the second phase, Attock, Chiniot, Khanewal, Khushab, Lodhran, Mandi Bahaudin, Narowal, Nankana Sahib, Okara, Shekhupura, Toba Tek Singh and Bahawalnagar would be included in the tally. All these districts have been made part of the annual development programme (ADP) and sent to the planning and development department. Construction would start as soon as money starts flowing, he said.
Law minister concedes that kite-flying ban being violated; CPWBs in 13 districts in phase-I
The minster also conceded that kite-flying ban was still being violated in different parts of the city despite police forming raiding parties and combing areas in the precincts of all 83 police stations in Lahore. However, the police are chasing violators and regularly booking them for violations.
The house also passed the University of Chakwal bill and triggered an interesting debate when Waris Kahloon of the Opposition wondered what was the government doing for the poor in this rush hour of university making. “Once a college is converted into a university, the college, which is upgraded, fades into a university and a new fee structure – highly expensive – is implemented, which the poor cannot afford. The poor is educated at government fee in these colleges, which is far less than the university. Those cheap sources of education suddenly disappear, leaving the poor high and dry.”
Both the chair and minister (Yasir Humayun) agreed to the contention of Waris Kahloon. “This is a genuine concern that needs to be taken care of,” Pervaiz Elahi, occupying the rostrum, asked the treasury side.
The minister for higher education also conceded the point and offered an explanation: “The Punjab government is bringing about legislation converting all those feeding colleges into, what it calls, “constituent” institutions – separating them from the universities. These colleges would also be working under the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and maintain their old fee structure so that the poor is not deprived of its due,” he assured.
The Opposition accepted the ministerial assurance and withdrew its two proposed amendments in the bill, clearing way for the unanimous passage of it. It completed the agenda for the day and the house was adjourned for Tuesday afternoon.

We decided to make one of these Prairie Style Lanterns. They measure approximately 9 1/2 inches high by 6 inches. The sides have numerous openings and the lid lifts off for votive and candle access. For a quiet evening family supper they add great ambiance to the dinner table.
For the base we used some very old 1/4 inch mirror glass which adds much more stability and strength to the lantern. In addition we attached vinyl feet to the bottom of the lantern so it would not scratch furniture.
We showed the first one to our 6 kids and their significant others to see if they would like them and their answers were a resounding yes. The first one is ours and the other 2 shown went to Leduc, Alberta. The glass colors used depend upon the colors requested by our various family members. We now are working on making 4 more of these with many varied colored combinations.

As a gift we made this open Hummingbird Panel, complete with some Gemstones. The panel measured approximately 7.5 inches wide by 8 inches high. The recipient loved Hummingbirds and Gemstones. The Gemstones were attached with E6000 glue.
A helpful hint for anyone wanting to make a panel like this is to pre cut, fit and form the wire. We used some light welding rod and 18 gauge tinned wire. Before attaching the rod and wire we beaded the edges. The welding rod was tinned prior to installing so as not to incur a lot of heat on the glass parts and with the beaded edges attaching was fairly easy as we held the various pieces with needle nose pliers to ensure that they fit half way between the glass edges.

This Quilt Block panel gift measured 6 x 6 inches and has a 1/4 Zinc Frame. Before soldering the frame together we carefully drilled the holes for the key ring inserts. We then finished soldering the joints to the came, cleaned with Kwik Clean, applied black patina after scrubbing the solder with #0000 steel wool and finally applying Clarity stained glass polish.
The final process item is to insert the key rings and attach the chain, by using link chain it is easy to add or remove links for perfect hanging from a secure hook in any window.

Rachel Dolezal's biological parents say they didn't set out to expose their daughter as a white woman. That was merely the consequence of "some investigative reporting," according to her father. Lawrence and Ruthanne Dolezal, the white couple listed on Dolezal's Montana birth certificate, say they were approached by reporters with the Coeur d'Alene Press who "somehow ... got wind" they were the parents of Dolezal, head of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Wash., Lawrence Dolezal tells Today.com. "We weren't going to lie." Ruthanne says her daughter may have used the claim that she was mixed race to enhance her reputation as a black activist and educator. "She may have felt she had some advantage in her activism by being portrayed as a black woman."
Savannah Guthrie asks about some of the "pretty dramatic" claims Dolezal has made: that she was born in a teepee and used a bow and arrow to get her food, for instance. "Those are all false claims," says Ruthanne Dolezal. "I think Rachel has tried to damage her biological family and those kind of claims, as false as they were, seem to serve her purposes in her mind." Dolezal, who told students at Eastern Washington University that her father was black, had apparently arranged for a black man to act as her father, her adopted brother Ezra Dolezal tells CNN. "She puts dark make-up on her face and says she black," he adds, per Buzzfeed. "It's basically blackface." (Read more Rachel Dolezal stories.)

Guidelines In Choosing Los Angeles Car Collision LawyersSacramento, CA - Kim Rushton was employed as a chemist for the City of Los Angeles at the Hyperion Treatment Plant for over twenty years. Headquartered in Los Angeles and serving the entire State of California, our practice centers on providing you with a personal injury attorney who can offer experienced protection and representation for individuals who have had the misfortune of being involved in a personal injury accident or assault.
Among NYC's policy changes: 82 new miles of protected bike lanes, thousands more pedestrian-friendly traffic signals , leveling up penalties for dangerous drivers, convincing auto accident news los angeles state legislators to reduce speed limits , speed enforcement cameras in schools, and other street safety upgrades—many of them starting as can-of-paint pilot projects.
If your own insured vehicle is in good safe drivable condition and you are planning to rent a car while you are traveling, call and ask your major credit card company first because you have a better chance of getting good news from them about rental car insurance coverage while you are on vacation or traveling on a business trip.
Longer-term capital improvements, such as bike safety enhancements along Octavia Boulevard and the recently approved plan to eliminate personal cars to make room for transit, pedestrians, and cyclists from Market Street, are also designed to align the city's safety goals.

Earlier this summer, Transportation Alternatives called on the de Blasio administration to treat the increase as an emergency, and to step up its Vision Zero efforts from a piecemeal, street-by-street approach to sweeping infrastructure changes designed to reduce the most basic cause of traffic fatalities: too many people in cars.
LOS ANGELES — A 29-year-old man was killed in a single-vehicle traffic crash on the 210 Freeway in Sun Valley, the coroner's office said Friday. All told, some 40 percent of the city's high-injury network—the 13 percent of streets where 75 percent of harmful crashes occur—are at some stage of being redesigned to prevent casualties from occurring, Medeiros said.
Police described the accident as a pretty horrendous crash, involving some high speeds.” But as of Wednesday morning they were unsure which car crashed into which, or how the accident occurred. Personal injury is defined as an accident causing bodily injury that is caused by another person's negligence.

Postgame leftovers: Avs beat Oilers 3-2 in shootout
Anyone watching tonight’s game at Phoenix, where San Jose visits the Coyotes? Avalanche and Coyotes are now tied with 76 points, currently the seventh playoff seed. But Phoenix has played two fewer games, so technically Colorado is in the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot.
Unless you figure the Sharks will collect at least one point over the four games it has in hand over the Avs. The Sharks (75 points) have played just 66 games. The Avs are at 70.
Regardless, good win for a deserving Avalanche squad that began slow but played great at times during the second and third periods. The Oilers were the better team in the first period and had some great chances in OT.
— Gabriel Landeskog fired a team-high five shots, giving him a team-high 232 for the season. That ties him with Peter Stastny (1980-81) with a single-season franchise rookie record. Paul Stastny is third with 185 shots, when he was a rookie in 2006-07.
— Peter Mueller (goal, shootout goal) extended his points streak to four games (one goal). His regulation goal was gift-wrapped by linemate Milan Hejduk and he copied Hejdy on his shootout goal. The right-handed shooters both beat Nik Khabibulin high to the glove side. Some good comments about how Mueller prepared for the his attempt will be in Sunday’s paper.
— Avs coach Joe Sacco said Ryan O’Reilly would have been the third shooter.
— The Avs and Oilers finish their series 3-3, with Colorado winning the last two.
— The Avs are 3-1 in their last four games, 7-3 in their last 10 and 10-5-1 in their last 16.
— Goaltending consultant Kirk McLean was in the house. The Vancouver-based McLean was at practice Friday too.
Sacco was highly complimentary of rugged winger Cody McLeod, the fourth-line middleweight who has three points (two goals) in his last three games. He tied it at 1-1 off a nice behind-the-net feed from D-man Ryan Wilson. “Our so-called fourth line gets a goal there to get us going. It’s good to see Cody get rewarded lately,” Sacco said. “He’s been popping in some goals here and there. A guy like Cody does a lot of dirty work, things that go unnoticed — but not by his teammates and coaching staff. But that goal gave our bench some energy, some life.”

Like many people, you probably use parchment paper for baking. But did you know that you can put parchment paper in the oven?
Parchment paper is a type of paper coated with a silicone layer. This makes it non-stick and heat resistant. It’s often in baking, preventing food from sticking to the pan and making cleanup a breeze.
Can You Put Parchment Paper in The Oven?
Yes, you can put parchment paper in the oven. Parchment paper is safe for use at temperatures up to 450°F and can withstand heat from baking and oven use. However, it is not recommended to use parchment paper in high-heat cooking situations where the temperature will exceed 400 degrees.
Table of Contents
Can Parchment Paper Go in The Oven?
What is parchment paper?
Parchment paper is a type of paper that is often used in baking as it provides a non-stick surface and prevents food from sticking to the pan. It is also oven safe, meaning it can withstand high temperatures without burning or catching fire.
Parchment paper is made from a type of cellulose fiber derived from wood pulp. The fibers are then treated with chemicals and heat to create a smooth, non-stick surface. Parchment paper can be found in most grocery stores in the baking aisle and is usually sold in sheets or rolls.
What are the benefits of using parchment paper?
There are several benefits to using parchment paper when baking, including the following:
- It provides a non-stick surface, so your food will not stick to the pan.
- It helps prevent burns as it is a barrier between the food and the pan.
- It makes cleanup more accessible as there is no need to grease the pan before use.
- It can be reused multiple times, saving money in the long run.
How do you use parchment paper in the oven?
When using parchment paper in the oven, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
- The parchment paper should be placed on a baking sheet before adding food.
- Preheat the oven before placing the baking sheet with the parchment paper.
- If you use an electric oven, place the baking sheet on the middle rack. For gas ovens, put them on the lower third rack.
4 tips for perfect results:
1) Line your baking sheets: To prevent sticking and make cleanup easy, line your baking sheets with parchment paper before each use. You can also use it to line countertops when rolling dough or working with sticky ingredients like honey or caramel.
2) Preheat your oven: Be sure to preheat your oven before placing anything on your lined baking sheet inside—parchment paper can handle high temperatures up until 420 degrees Fahrenheit (215 degrees Celsius).
3) Place on the middle rack: For electric ovens, place your lined baking sheet on the middle rack when cooking; for gas ovens, put it on the lower third rack just above where the flame enters the chamber through burner heads, this will help ensure even browning and prevent scorching (if placed too close to the heat source).
4) Let cool completely: After removing baked goods from the oven, let them cool on wire racks before storing—this will help prevent condensation and preserve freshness.”

What Temperature Is Parchment Paper Safe?
Parchment paper is safe up to 420 degrees. At higher temperatures, the form will begin to darken and eventually burn.
So how long can parchment paper be in the oven?
That depends on the temperature of your oven and what you’re cooyou’reFor example, if baking at your low temperature (250 degrees or less), you can safely use parchment paper for the entire baking duration. However, if baking something at a higher temperature (375 degrees or more), you should only use parchment paper for part of the baking time.
Here are some general guidelines:
- Baking at a low temperature (250 degrees or less): Parchment paper can be used for the entire duration of the bake.
- Baking at a moderate temperature (375 degrees): Parchment paper can be used for part of the baking time. For example, if you’re baking cookies, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, but remove the parchment paper for the last few minutes of baking so that the bottoms of the cookies get nice and crispy.
- Baking at a high temperature (400 degrees or more): Parchment paper should only be used for part of the baking time. For example, if you’re baking vegetables, you can line the pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking, but remove it during the last 10-15 minutes of roasting so that the vegetables get nicely browned and crispy.
Generally, it’s better if it errs caution and uses less parchment paper than when baking at high temperatures. If you use too much parchment paper, it could catch fire in the oven.
Can Parchment Paper Catch on Fire?
Because parchment paper is a fire-resistant, heat-proof paper, it can be used in the oven. Parchment paper intended for use in the oven will say so on the package.
On a side note, oven-safe parchment paper will get dark, but it won’t catch on fire.
Is parchment paper flammable? Yes, parchment paper can catch on fire if left unattended or misused.
Does Parchment Paper Leach Food?
While we found that parchment paper will leach trace amounts of chemicals into food, these quantities are so small as to be negligible. If you’re looking for a clean cooking method and don’t want to use aluminum foil, you can use parchment paper.
Can Parchment Paper Go in The Oven on Broil?
The thing about parchment paper is that it must be used correctly. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends against using parchment paper on a broiler instead of placing food directly on oven racks. This is because parchment paper can’t withstand high temperatures or direct flame, and while some brands claim they can handle broiling, you run into can’t problems when attempting to get them off your food. So, no parchment paper for broiling can be used for baking.
Alternatives to Parchment Paper in The Oven?
- Silpat: The best way to line baking sheets.
- Wax Paper: It is ideal for storage at room temperature and as a makeshift work surface.
- Greased Baking Sheet: Ideal for Baking.
- Aluminum Foil with Oil: Excellent for Baking, Especially at High Temperatures.
- Nonstick Sheet Pans: Bake well using them.
Parchment paper is a great way to line an oven and prevent sticking and burning. It is also safe to use in the oven, even if it is not exposed to direct flame. Parchment paper can be used at high temperatures, up to 420 degrees Fahrenheit, for short periods. When using parchment paper in the oven, it is essential to keep an eye on your food to avoid overcooking.
Can Parchment Paper Be Used in Toaster Ovens?
It turns out that parchment paper can’t be used in toaster ovens. After researching, I learned that the heating elements are much closer to the food in a toaster oven than in a regular oven.
Can parchment paper be used in microwave ovens?
Yes, parchment paper can be used in microwave ovens, but you must use a microwave-safe bowl or plate. The parchment will not get hot enough to transfer heat to your food.
Can parchment paper go in the oven for cookies?
Try it out next time if you’re looking to bake cookies and haven’t used parchment paper. It can save you time and energy by reducing cleanup.
What happens if you put parchment paper in the oven?
Is parchment paper safe to use in the oven? If you put parchment paper in the oven without preheating it first, the paper will likely curl up and smoke. Preheating the oven (to a temperature of at least 425 degrees Fahrenheit) before adding parchment paper will help to prevent this from happening.
When should you not use parchment paper?
You should avoid using parchment paper in high-heat cooking situations, such as in the oven or on the grill, if the temperature will exceed 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because there is a chance that it could catch fire. However, parchment paper is safe to use at temperatures up to 450°F.

Remedy also executive produced Inspectah Deck’s “Manifesto” album (2010), “The 9th Chamber” (2019), as well as Cappadonna’s “The Struggle” (2003) and “Return Of The Swarm” (2010). Remedy executive produced Ghostface’s “Ghostface Killahs” LP (2019) and appeared in RZA’s ‘Domestic Violence’ film. Now, after nearly two decades, and what is sure to be a purist’s delight, Remedy is back to announce his first solo album, “Remedy Meets Wu-Tang”.
The full LP drops on November 26 and can be pre-ordered/saved here. Till then, stream “The Pulpit” below.


Lar Corbett’s dramatic hurling u-turn was completed last night when he rejoined the Tipperary senior hurling panel for training in Thurles.
Corbett, 31, announced his return over the weekend, having dropped his quit bombshell last February.
And the 2010 Hurler of the Year turned up for a pitch session at Dr Morris Park looking sharp before the squad moved into the Dome at Semple Stadium for a weights session.
The return of Corbett comes less than two weeks before Tipp begin the defence of their Munster Senior Hurling Championship against Limerick.
Corbett has already stated this week that the provincial quarter-final clash against the Shannonsiders may come too soon, insisting it will take months rather than weeks for him to get up to speed for manager Declan Ryan’s panel.
Corbett, a 2001 and 2010 All-Ireland medallist, will look to regain full fitness ahead of a return which could come against Cork in a potential Munster semi-final next month.

President Joe Biden delivered remarks Wednesday at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, celebrating bipartisan work on the issue of food insecurity.
What was thought to be a solid opportunity for Biden to exaggerate his willingness to work across the aisle quickly turned into yet another disaster for the administration.
While shouting out Indiana Republicans who worked to fund food insecurity bills, Joe Biden searched the crowd and called out for late Representative Jackie Walorski, who tragically died just months ago in an August car crash.
Later, left-wing ABC News reporter Cecilia Vega drilled Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on the wildly disrespectful gaffe. Jean-Pierre denied that Biden misspoke, simply stating that Walorski was “top of mind” for the President.
Watch Jean-Pierre tiptoe around the question:
Vega isn’t the only left-wing reporter seemingly flabbergasted by Joe Biden’s lapse in memory. MSNBC reporter Sam Stein also noted the White House’s Soviet-Esque coverup of a clearly-dire situation in the Oval:
In a clip posted by ABC News, the viewer can hear reporters pleading with Jean-Pierre for clarification, with one noting that the American people are questioning Biden’s cognitive state.
