What are the benefits of a filing provisional patent application?
1. Enjoy less formal requirements
The reduced formality threshold of provisional patent application filings offers a number of significant advantages to the inventor and entrepreneur.A first advantage is that since the formality requirement for a provisional application is greatly reduced as compared to a nonprovisional application (less attention needs to be paid to form and format), the cost of preparing and filing a provisional application can be significantly lower. This is especially true when an entrepreneur has put together a writeup of the invention, including a complete set of figures describing his invention, and is able to either file his own application or turn the materials over to a patent attorney for filing with very little revision required.
Since the provisional application delays the need to file a nonprovisional patent application for 12 months, this pendency period can be used to evaluate the merits of the invention. For a small entrepreneur this might mean 12 months in which to seek either a licensee for the invention, or funding to proceed further with product development. For larger companies, the use of provisional patent applications enables a 12 month period during which to decide which applications will provide the greatest value to the company and deserve further investment.
2. Secure foreign priority
A second advantage of the provisional application process is that it provides foreign priority for subsequent patent applications filed in countries that are signatories to the Paris Convention. The Paris Convention is an agreement among most of the commercially important countries of the world – roughly 165 countries are members – which recognizes patent priority in each of those signatory countries. However, filing a patent application in the United States creates a priority date which can be used to establish priority in any Paris Convention country, assuming that the inventor also files one or more patent applications in any of those Paris Convention countries within one year of the United States filing date. Although this can be an important feature of the provisional patent application process, foreign patent applications are very expensive and should only rarely, if ever, be sought by the first time inventor or start-up entrepreneur.
3. Get promoting!
A third advantage in filing a provisional application is that it enables immediate commercial promotion of the invention. An almost universal fear among inventors is that their inventions will be stolen from them and commercially exploited by others. For small inventors and would-be entrepreneurs, the fear of having someone else steal their invention can instill paralysis and inhibit the idea-sharing and promotion that are essential for commercial success. Filing a patent application, whether provisional or nonprovisional, enables the creation of a potential monopoly which, upon patent issuance, will enable the patent holder to exclude others from making, using or selling products embodying the invention. By filing a lower-cost provisional application at the earliest possible date, the inventor can begin promoting the invention, seeking licensees and partners, and raising money to develop and commercially exploit the technology. From this standpoint alone, provisional applications can be extremely valuable to the small inventor.
For the larger company, provisional patent applications enable discussions with manufacturers and vendors at an early stage, with reduced concern that the technology will be stolen and sold to competitors. Inventors can also use non-disclosure agreements to contractually prevent confidantes from disclosing or otherwise using the technology. However, non-disclosure agreements should only be used with those who can be trusted to keep the confidence. If a recipient of confidential information discloses that information without authorization, the genie is out of the bottle, notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement, and there may be no duty on the part of information-receiving third parties to honor the original non-disclosure agreement.
4. Get an efficient, short-term solution
A fourth advantage of the provisional patent application is that this is a relatively efficient and cost-effective way of protecting an invention during the early development process. One of the features of provisional patent applications is that multiple provisional applications can be referenced by a later-filed nonprovisional application, combining their ideas into a single document. This can be particularly useful when an invention is undergoing development.
For example, an invention might originally start out as a backyard lawn chair for poolside use. After completing the initial design of the lawn chair, a provisional patent application is filed and construction of the lawn chair begins. Some weeks later, the inventor may realize that carefully selected construction materials can enable the lawn chair to float. A second provisional patent application is then filed, including the improvement of constructing the lawn chair out of a buoyant material. As a third, if not contrived, improvement to the now-floating lawn chair, the inventor next adds cup holders, an ice chest and other conveniences, for which a third provisional patent application is then filed. At any time until the one-year anniversary strikes midnight for the first provisional patent application, the inventor can incorporate all three provisional applications into a single nonprovisional application, claiming priority for each of the improvements from their respective filing dates. While invention and development continues, this successive filing process is an inexpensive way of collecting improvements within one patent application.
5. Secure an extra year of protection
A fifth benefit to filing a provisional patent application is that the provisional filing effectively adds an additional year to the term of the patent grant. Since a patent’s term is 20 years from the date the nonprovisional application is filed, starting the process with a provisional application shifts the expiration of the patent out by one year to 21 years after the filing of the provisional application. Although for many inventions this extra year at the end of the term is of little consequence, certain inventions, such as prescription drugs, are most valuable towards the end of their patent terms, as marketing and time have worked to increase product potential.

Our world today is lacking leaders with true moral conviction, and people are feeling scared. Now is the time to look for real compassion, empathy and goodness in the leaders we elect.
Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and John F Kennedy were all great leaders throughout past decades. There’s nobody like those men anymore.
Today, we are left with frightening political candidates like Donald Trump, Clive Palmer and dud religious leaders like Cardinal Pell.
Using non-violent principles, Gandhi helped lead India to independence from British rule. “An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind”, was his most famous quote.
Nelson Mandela overcame racism and apartheid to give black people a voice within South Africa. Mandela believed, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.
Ad. Article continues below.
Over in America, John F Kennedy became a great President when he spoke about the need of all people to become active and responsible citizens.
“Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country”, JFK famously said in his first speech as president.
He wanted the “common enemies of man” such as “tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself” overcome, but unfortunately JFK did not live long enough to achieve this vision.
Some people would argue that Prime Minister John Howard was a great Australian leader – but I don’t know whether his humanitarian record matches that of Gandhi, Mandela or JFK.
In fact, John Howard still claims his “stop the boats” type border control was his greatest success, despite Australia having ongoing problems with asylum seekers today.
Ad. Article continues below.
In 2016, we are left with weak political candidates like Donald Trump, Clive Palmer and controversial religious leaders like Cardinal Pell.
Donald Trump has a limited tolerance for other cultures. He has previously talked about conflicts in the Middle East, saying “Let them fight each other and pick up the remnants.”
Meanwhile, Clive Palmer’s companies have run into the ground and hundreds of Aussie workers have lost their jobs. Despite this, Clive keeps up appearances as a “millionaire entrepreneur”.
Cardinal Pell is perhaps my least favourite of this bunch. He should have stepped down years ago when Catholic child abuse allegations surfaced, and yet he has consistently “washed his hands” of any particular wrong-doing.
The situation surrounding Cardinal Pell is yet to be resolved. As a religious leader though, I think he has failed his community and countless children too. Pope Francis should do more than just offer “words of comfort” to abuse victims as well.
Unfortunately in 2016, it looks like we’re entering the “dark ages” when it comes to world leaders. At least that’s my take anyway.
Do you agree that our world is lacking true leaders today? Who would you rather see in positions of responsibility and power?

It’s not always easier to homeschool an only child. There are lots of unique benefits and challenges too. For example, you can focus on quality one-on-one lessons with an only child. However, you might have to get creative to provide socialization opportunities with other kids.
Homeschooling an one child is not what you might think. There are lots of myths about homeschooling an only child and some of them might surprise you. Keep reading to discover some of the biggest myths about homeschooling an only child, learn what’s true, and get strategies for navigating challenges that are unique to homeschooling an only.
Myth #1 – It’s Easier to Homeschool an Only Child
We have all heard exclamations from others about how easy it must be to only have one child or only be homeschooling one child, but that’s just not how it works. I mean what if I said homeschooling six children was easier? That’s just crazy, right? The same holds true for homeschooling one child.
Homeschooling an only child isn’t easier, it’s just different!
The dynamic of homeschooling an only child is different from homeschooling multiple children. Some things are easier, but other things can be more challenging for parents homeschooling only one child.
The biggest challenge I find to homeschooling an only child is that I am her everything. I am not just her mom and teacher but also her classmate, sibling, playmate, friend, etc. I am all she has. That means I have to be on all day long.
I like to think that moms of multiples are physically tired at the end of a homeschool day. As a mom of an only I am mentally tired at the end of a homeschool day. Not an easier kind of tired, just a different kind tired.
Myth #2 – Homeschooling an Only Child Means You Have Only One Child
Another big misconception about homeschooling an only child is people thinking you have only one child. There are all kinds of reasons why you may choose to homeschool one child, including age gaps and special circumstances. Whatever the reason, homeschooling only one doesn’t mean there’s only one.
There are lots of reasons a parent might choose homeschooling one child but not the others. Oftentimes these reasons include health concerns for the child or special needs that make traditional schooling less than ideal. Sometimes parents choose to homeschool one child because of special gifts or talents. For example, many elite gymnasts and dancers are homeschooled.
Sometimes you find yourself homeschooling an only because the other kids have completed their education or there’s a significant age gap between siblings. The bottom line is that homeschooling only one child doesn’t mean that’s your only child and that’s ok too.
Myth #3 – Socializing is a Bigger Concern for An Only Child Homeschool
Homeschoolers are really familiar with the socialization argument. We hear it all the time! When you’re homeschooling an only child, socialization can be a bigger concern. Sometimes you’ll have to get creative to provide ample opportunities for your child to socialize with other kids his or her age.
How do you socialize an only child when you’re homeschooling? The secret is teaching your child to get along with people of all ages. There are tons of opportunities to socialize in the community. A trip to the post office, a conversation with a neighbor, and any other outing in the community can easily serve as an opportunity to socialize and practice social skills with an only child. After all, socialization isn’t just about teaching your child to interact with people their age.
One way that we like to ensure that same age interaction does happen for our only child is through online classes. This provides her the ability to share her thoughts with kids her own age on topics that interest her.
Myth #4 – Homeschooling An Only Child is Lonely
Homeschooling an only child can be lonely at times, but it doesn’t have to be! There are tons of ways you can avoid feelings of loneliness for yourself and your child. Include the whole family in science projects, field trips, and story time to create a sense of community within your home.
Check out these other great ideas for encouraging community when you’re homeschooling an only child:
- Join a co-op
- Find a support group
- Attend “homeschool day” events
- Field Trips
- Schedule Play Dates
Can’t find a group that fits your child’s needs or interests? Start your own! Offering to host a playgroup, studygroup, or book club in your home is a fantastic way to build community for your only child while providing lots of opportunities to practice and develop social skills and form friendships too.
In the end, homeschooling an only child is not without its challenges, but there are lots of amazing advantages and opportunities too. I absolutely think that the advantages far outweigh the challenges and I wouldn’t trade homeschooling an only for anything!
Are you homeschooling an only? What’s your favorite part about this homeschooling journey? Share your stories about homeschooling an only child in the comment section. I can’t wait to read them!

Today on the faculty list email list I circulated a link to this story that appeared today (October 10) on InsideHigherEd.com about Smith College re-examining their face to face, traditional residential liberal arts delivery of their curriculum. They wonder how sustainable this traditional model is in light of changing demographics among students, the public perception of higher education (which is not so good), and the expectation for ease of portability and access in many forms (not just living somewhere in a residence hall for four years).
I think we at McDaniel need to start facing some of these shifting and changing realities and make some decisions before we are forced to face some drastic changes. I believe the President when he says that if things don’t change here, we will cease to exist in 10 years time.
I hope we can start to have some conversations that are real, deep, honest and informed so that we can move McDaniel forward. I hope that the faculty will demand it.

China said more than 12,600 people died of Covid-related causes in the week leading up to the Lunar New Year holidays, with a health official saying about 80% of the population was infected with the virus in the current outbreak.
There were 12,658 Covid-linked deaths at hospitals between January 13-19, the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement dated Saturday.
The country reported 59,938 such deaths between December 8 and January 12.
The center’s chief epidemiologist Wu Zunyou said separately in a Weibo post that 80% of the country’s residents were infected in the current round.
While Lunar New Year travel may lead to uptick in cases in some regions, Wu said there is “very little chance” for large-scale infections or a second round of an outbreak nationwide in the next two to three months.
China had a population of 1.41 billion at the end of 2022, suggesting more than 1.1 billion people had the virus recently in the world’s biggest Covid outbreak.
Wu didn’t elaborate on how the infections were derived.
A sudden dismantling of Covid Zero restrictions in December meant hundreds of millions of people headed home for the Lunar New Year holiday for the first time since 2019.
President Xi Jinping
singled out Covid’s rural spread in a nationwide video address he held before the holiday, saying he’s especially concerned about efforts to battle Covid in the countryside.
Health experts are worried the virus could ravage the vulnerable in villages with sparse health care infrastructure, creating worse outcomes than the outbreaks that have already strained hospitals, overwhelmed crematoriums and crippled the nation’s megacities.
There were 471,739 Covid-related patients in hospitals nationwide on January 19, including 51,683 in critical condition.
The data release on Saturday came after the World Health Organization
urged China to give more information.Watch China admits to 13,000 deaths in a week

Publication Date: June 1, 2011
Genre: YA Historical Fantasy
Copy provided by: Teen Book Scene/Publisher
Summary (via Goodreads):
Romance and adventure are just around the corner . . .
After the thrilling journey that led Camille through the dangerous discovery of love, secrets, and a magical stone that grants immortality, Camille has everything she wants. She's escaped the men who wanted her dead, and now she is ready to build a new life with Oscar, her one true love. But things are not to be so simple. Oscar is acting strangely, and before they can even board a ship from Australia back home, to San Francisco, Camille learns that the journey is not over. If she does not follow the magic of the curse of Umandu, her life and Oscar's could be in grave danger.
Why I read this: I really enjoyed the first novel in this series, Everlasting and couldn't wait to read the sequel.
Plot: Picking up where the last book left off, Camille finds out that Oscar isn't completely revived from the dead and they must embark on another adventure to find the second stone to bring Oscar's soul back to his body. Her fiance shows up and forces himself into the adventure and Camille is torn between telling him the truth or keeping up the charade of still being his fiance. There's danger along the journey with twists that really surprised me at points. I did, however, get sick of the love triangle going on and it's not something that will be solved until the next book.
Characters: I really liked the new characters introduced in this book. There's another female character named Maggie who takes over guiding Camille to the second stone. There's her uncle, the dashing captain who has taken Camille's brother under his wing but seems to have ulterior motives that come out later in the novel. And, the big bads - we get to meet some really ugly awful characters that will make you shiver and want to crawl under your covers.
Relatability: If you enjoyed the first book, you're sure to enjoy this one. This series is one for fans of adventure and romance.
Cover Commentary: Lovely.

Our hospital and programs will focus on the health and recovery of the whole patient and build on Geisinger’s legacy of providing excellent behavioral health care to the community. We have an excellent staff and an exceptional facility to serve everyone who needs our help.”
The new center, located at 60 Glenmaura Blvd. The hospital, Moosic, is the first of two hospitals to be built under a joint venture between Geisinger and Acadia. Another 96-bed hospital — the Geisinger Center for Behavioral Health Danville — is currently under development in Danville and is expected to open in 2025.
“This partnership and partnership will increase access and quality behavioral health care for patients throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania,” said Jaewon Ryu, MD, JD, President and CEO of Geisinger. “I want to thank the many people from Geisinger, Acadia, local government, and the community for their commitment and passion in making our vision a reality today. Pennsylvania will benefit for years to come from this combined effort.”
These two new centers will allow Geisinger to integrate inpatient behavioral health programs from Geisinger Medical Center, Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital, and Geisinger Community Medical Center, providing additional capacity to expand the availability of medical care at those hospitals.

We previously reported that back in November, Doja revealed her plans to get breast augmentation. “I’m literally about to get surgery this winter lmao,” Doja told a fan on Twitter at the time. When another fan asked her what kind of surgery, she responded, “I just want my titties pulled up cuz some of my tops don’t fit the way i want them to.”
The singer also previously said about cosmetic surgery, “I love when you take something that is maybe classically beautiful and twist it and make it your own. For me, it’s more of an ‘are you happy?’ kind of thing. I want my fans to learn they don’t have to be like anyone else and the thing they want is already there.”
The artist also previewed some new music while on Instagram live with her fans.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with FNA, White said, “The US has entered into trade conflict with China meanwhile sanctions continue against Russia… Brexit […] will weaken the EU economy and the German economic picture is looking bleak […] the World Trade Organization is weak”, drawing a gloomy picture of the EU-US economic future.
Christopher White is a British journalist based in Brussels. He is the founder and former publisher of the EU Reporter magazine.
Below is the full text of the interview:
Q: The US and EU officials are preparing for a World Trade Organization ruling that could empower the US to impose new tariffs on the European products. The EU is expected to retaliate. How do you view the US-EU trade war?
A: Trade war would be a disaster on a global basis but especially for the EU. The economic situation in Europe is, as presented widely in the media, approaching recession. There are similar problems in the United States where a current report highlights the growing gap between the super rich and ordinary citizens. This has long been the situation in developing countries and is now true in developed countries. That the EU, a federal state still in the making, has adopted policies that target its closest non-European military ally is highly questionable. Much the same has to be said for the US that refuses to adapt certain principles, on food quality for example. The US has entered into tr ade conflict with China meanwhile sanctions continue against Russia. Without questioning the rights or wrongs of any particular aspect, it is abundantly clear that matters are getting out of hand. One should ask whether we are approaching the situation that existed in the 1920’s and 30’s dominated by national protectionism, not to mention the situation that followed.
Q: Which rules-based international systems do you think have been disregarded to take the EU-US trade dispute to the present levels?
A: There is a historical equivalent to what is happening today. The League of Nations, designed to promote peace, failed due largely to the dominance of economic nationalism. As world leaders attending the league spoke about goodwill among nations its member states were promoting economic conflict. The EU is now driven by states protecting, as they see it, their economic well-being by introducing taxes and tariffs as ‘sovereign nations’. The French economy is under pressure and so France is “retaliating” to US levies. That the EU is being drawn into the dispute or, to put it a different way that the EU is also collectively joining the battle does not bode well for the future. Brexit, should it happen, will weaken the EU economy and the German economic picture is looking bleak. The US has a history of isolationism and current US trade policy is reminiscent of that. The World Trade Organization is weak, recall the League of Nations, and it is hard to see how the current climate would permit strengthening it. The immediate future is an open question.
Q: How would you think this will affect the global economy?
A: The global economy has slowed down and is continuing to decline. China has its own problems including increased wealth among its population resulting in rising production costs. Defense spending is keeping the Chinese economy relatively buoyant. Academics lecture on the need for levelling wealth. That was one of the principle ambitions of the European Union - the levelling-up of wealth in poor regions like Spain and Portugal in the 1980’s creating, in theory, new markets for the wealthy regions like Germany, the UK and Scandinavia. The academics of those times, it appears, overlooked the arrival of China and the developing nations into the market place. Now everything has been overtaken globally by the enormous gap between the extremely wealthy and the general populace who pay the bulk of state taxes. Perhaps the question should be when will the general population stop spending either for political reasons or because they just can’t afford to keep the economy going and what will happen then?

Have you ever been sitting across from a random gal you met on a dating app, trying to decipher if she’s listening to you? Or if she’s interested in you at all? Worst of all: if she’s there to get to know you — or for the free meal ticket? A recent study is the bearer of the bad news and confirms nearly one in four women will agree to a date to, well, eat.
Researchers from Azusa Pacific University and University of California-Merced are calling this (not-so-new) trend a “foodie call” and describes the intention of a single woman on the lookout for a way to eat on a very deceiving budget.
To arrive at this conduction, they recruited 820 women to answer a variety of questions in an attempt to analyze their personality traits, gender role beliefs and history with “foodie calling.” In the first group, 23 percent — or almost one-fourth — admitted they were guilty of taking advantage of a man for noms. “Most did so occasionally or rarely. Although women who had engaged in a foodie call believed it was more acceptable, most women believed ‘foodie calls’ were extremely to moderately unacceptable,” the study shared.
To further give credit to their research, they asked similar questions to 357 women who identified as heterosexual. Of these ladies, 33 percent claimed they were guilty of the infamous “foodie call” — even if thought it wasn’t a nice act to play.
There’s no real solution for avoiding this type of deception, since lying is unfortunately a sad reality of all dating situations. However, experts usually suggest something more casual for a first date — say coffee, a round of cocktails or even a walk through the park with ice cream. This not only gives you time to chat and get to know each other (without taking a moment to chew?) — but it also saves a guy a pretty penny if his date isn’t sincere.
Or, ya know, apparently, just really hungry.

Setting In House of Mirth
The historical setting of the House of Mirth is important in that it takes place at a time in American history when there was a high degree of immigration. The wealthy in America at this time were able to take advantage of this situation in that it afforded them low-cost servants. In addition, the use of various vehicles in the story such as motorcars and boats gives insight into the social status symbols the wealthy of the time used to set them apart from the rest. Lily grew accustomed to these extras life had to offer, and when she lost them, it not only served to create a forced lifestyle change but a reevaluation of who she was as a person.
After Lily fails to find the social status and wealth she craves, she is forced to support herself by trimming hats in a fashionable shop. At this point, Lily is a social outcast. The scenery described as dreary New York tenements adequately reflects how Lily feels on the inside. Wharton uses this setting in New York as a symbol for all that was ugly and undesirable in America at the time of the story.
The library is also used in the novel to set the backdrop for the courtship rituals. In this manner, books are not read but rather serve as a ruse for flirtation. Even though Lily uses libraries and books in this manner for her own purposes, she overlooks this when Selden and Mrs. Dorset are found in the library together.

Cook’s Illustrated White Cake Recipe is a classic cake that has been a go-to in American baking for decades. However, with how much seemingly goes into this cake, it’s normal that there are plenty of tips and tricks to share.
Cook’s Illustrated White Cake Recipe first starts with a homemade white cake- a batter with little to no leavening agents- because it relies on eggs and cream to create the light, fluffy texture.
In this recipe, the cream is used in two phases. First, it’s warmed and then beaten into the batter after it has been cooled for about an hour.
The second phase is where the magic happens–the cake batter is folded into the batter that has been beaten with cream inside a bundt pan.
This ensures that when the cake bakes, it rises evenly and perfectly–the meringue should be set enough to hold its shape on its own but not so much that it falls out of the pan.
How To Make Cook’s Illustrated White Cake Recipe?
Preparation Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Baking Time: 45-55 minutes
Difficulty: Medium (It’s not hard to make, but you need a bit of patience, careful reading, and following the recipe. You’ll also need the ingredients listed below.)
Ingredients for Cook’s Illustrated White Cake Recipe:
For the Cake:
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
- 1¾ cups cake flour (I used 2 kinds if you can find them. If not, use ½ cup of each)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons table salt, plus more for the meringue
- 1¾ cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
For the Meringue:
- 1¾ cup cold heavy cream, divided into 2 equal parts (I used ¾ cup per phase). If you don’t have this ready-made from a can, chill it in the fridge for at least one hour and be sure that your kitchen is not too hot. Cold eggs can’t be added to warm-hot cream.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation Steps for Cook’s Illustrated White Cake Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup fluted round cake pan (two 8-cup pans can also be used). Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix flour, baking powder, soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, and whisk to combine. In another bowl or large measuring cup, beat 4 large eggs until just combined; lightly fold in 1 cup of cream and vanilla (if desired).
Pour egg mixture over flour mixture and gently whisk until combined (do not over-mix). The flour will be very visible in the batter.
Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir for about 20 more seconds. If you have time, cover the batter tightly with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for an hour.
Fit the metal bowl of a stand mixer with the whip attachment. Add 1¾ cups cream to a metal bowl and chill in the refrigerator until cold. Beat mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form when dripped off of whisk (for about 3 minutes).
Remove the bowl from the stand mixer. Using a spatula, fold whipped cream into the beaten egg mixture until the batter is light and fluffy. Taste, and add more salt if desired.
Pour 1/2 of the batter (1¾ cups) into the prepared pan and tap the pan on the counter to spread evenly. Spoon and spread the remaining batter over the top. Using a skewer or toothpick, swirl the mixture until it is just combined but not entirely smooth.
Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown. Immediately turn the cake onto a wire rack, and turn it upside down. Allow cooling for about an hour (or more in the fridge) before adding the meringue.
While the cake is cooling, rinse and dry the metal bowl from step 5, then place it back on the stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment. Measure out 4 cups of heavy cream and chill in the refrigerator until cold, about 30 minutes- one hour.
Add chilled cream to a bowl and beat over medium-high speed using the whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Don’t overbeat, or the meringue will fall. Again, don’t walk away, or the mixture could get gooey.
Carefully fold the meringue into the cake batter evenly (I used a few sheets of plastic wrap to cover the bowl, which makes it harder to get the meringue all in). Return cake to wire rack and let cool for another hour before serving.
Slice into wedges and serve.
Nutritional Facts of Cook’s Illustrated White Cake Recipe:
|Fat||24 g (Saturated Fat: 12 g)|
This is a perfect cake for serving to your family and friends on Easter for breakfast. It’s a cake that will fool any non-baker. The meringue keeps the cake light and fluffy, which is crucial in getting an even rise and setting.
Best 10 Serving Ideas of Cook’s Illustrated White Cake Recipe:
1) Eat 2 pieces daily to lose weight while remaining comfy and full.
2) To make it a little tastier, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar.
3) Add this recipe to your favorite soups, stews, and dips.
4) Use it as cupcakes or layer them with frosting for birthday cakes.
5) Spread this on toast for breakfast, snacks, and ketchup.
6) Try it with sliced strawberries and almond slices on top.
7) Layer it with ice cream and chocolate sauce.
8) Add this to your breakfast fruit parfait.
9) Dip strawberries in it for a delightful dessert.
10) Or eat it plain! It’s delicious.
Is this recipe good for a party?
Yes, this is perfect for a family party or guests. It’s very easy to prepare, and it doesn’t take a long time. This is a great recipe if you have to cut down on time and still have no stress.
What can be the substitute for cake flour?
You can’t just replace cake flour with all-purpose flour. The main reason for using cake flour is to create a less dense, more tender crumb. I suggest using 1 part cornstarch (cornflour) mixed with 4 parts all-purpose flour.
Where can I get the cream from?
Most grocery stores carry heavy cream in the dairy section, usually near the milk.
What is the difference between cake flour and all-purpose flour?
Cake flour is made from soft wheat berries, leaving the starches and proteins less developed than traditional flours. Cake flour has lower protein and higher starch content than all-purpose flour, which makes it a good fit for tender, delicate cakes.

When collaborating with other individuals or companies during a creative process, an experienced intellectual property owner will know about the importance of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). NDAs offer crucial protection for sharing any type of sensitive information, but Users should be aware that – even with the use of an NDA – there may still be gaps in your protection. This blog has highlighted important considerations when drafting NDAs in the past (definitions, exceptions, other agreements, etc.). A recent case, however, Liberty Ammunition v. United States, highlights the extra care that should be taken when contracting with the U.S. Government.
In this patent case, in connection with it’s acquisition of Liberty Ammunition’s technology, the Government breached a number of NDAs executed by U.S. officials and support contractors. It argued that the NDAs in question could not be enforced because their signers did not have a contracting officer’s warrant and therefore lacked authority to bind the Government. Unfortunately for Liberty, the Federal Claims Court agreed with this argument. This case highlights the potential lack of effectiveness of NDAs signed by U.S. Government personnel and should be a red flag for those who do business with Government personnel yet want to protect their intellectual property. Consider these two important factors when preparing an NDA for such cases to make sure you are as well-protected as possible:
- Verify that the individual signing the NDA has authority to bind the Government to a contract. If he or she does not have such authority, ask that the NDA be co-signed or endorsed by a warranted officer.
- Protect yourself. Remember that an NDA is only a tool with which you can pursue compensation in a case of wrongful disclosure, but a piece of paper does not guarantee protection. Things go wrong. People break contracts. You still need to guard your information from leaking, even with an NDA.
It is always best to consult an attorney when preparing a non-disclosure agreement. The experienced intellectual-property attorneys at Cislo & Thomas LLP are happy to come alongside you in this process.

Red Wanting Blue
In 1999 the band relocated its headquarters to Columbus, Ohio, the city Red Wanting Blue now calls home. RWB has been touring for nearly two decades playing around 200 live shows a year. Red Wanting Blue is known as an explosive live act to follow, with Terry being compared to some of the most entertaining frontmen in the industry.
On April 20, 2010 RWB announced that after fourteen years of operating as an independent band, they would be signing a three album contract with Fanatic Records (Caroline/Capitol Music Group/Universal Music Group) out of New York City. The band, known for their independence and unwillingness to bend to fleeting musical trends, stated that they had never considered signing a record contract before, but embraced Fanatic Records’ “mom and pop” mentality.
The band has released eleven full-length albums to date: Velveteen (1996), Image Trigger (1998), Model Citizen (2000), Sirens (2001), Souvenirs of City Life (2002), Pride: The Cold Lover (2004), The Warehouse Sessions (2006), These Magnificent Miles (2008 & re-release, 2010), From The Vanishing Point (2011), Little America (2014) and RWB20 Live at Lincoln Theater (2016).

This album cycle lead to national appearances on Late Show with David Letterman, CBS, VH1’s Big Morning Buzz Live and Mountain Stage, NPR where host Larry Groce said in his introduction, “Red Wanting Blue is America’s local band. They earned their fans the right way — bar by bar and concert by concert.”
Little America, RWB’s 10th album was released on July 1, 2014, and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and No. 31 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.

#6 The Cloud Covering of Glory
Posted: Wednesday, December 8th, 2021Print
About Under His Wings Series
Psalm 91 has amazing promises of provision and safety - and the requirements for accessing these blessings in full. Come under His wings today!
I don’t usually focus on experiences (as wonderful as they are, they can take our eyes from the Lord Jesus) but I seem to be led to share this one with you.
Shelter (the Hebrew meaning): from a word and a root word that means “dense (or dark) cloud covering.”
The cloud-shelter of the Most High is so very real. It can be “felt” and, on rare occasion, seen…
I was picking up a fellow worshiper in the airport. The moment we met, we were hit with such glory that both of us could barely walk. We felt a great softness of God’s presence, but it came as a heavy softness that seemed to envelop us. As we stumbled along, we came to a large hall on the lower level. That hall was filled with what looked like smoke. Yet there was no smoking in this part of the airport and no smell of fire.
In the mass of people, no one else seemed to notice this strange cloud. It was so thick that it should have alarmed people and it filled the large hall. I was astonished at the cloud and looked around to see if others were reacting to its presence. People were just going through the hall and up the escalator as though nothing was unusual. Not one person was looking at the cloud. Also, no one seemed to pay attention to us as we staggered along, trying to hold each other up. We should have been a sight to stare at, but no one appeared to notice us.
As we went up to another level toward baggage claim, the “smoke” was no longer there. That heavy-soft presence of God remained on us for some time but the cloud, though it could still be felt, was not seen again.
It was a long time before we even mentioned the cloud and discovered we had both seen it. The presence of the Lord was so strong that He was the absolute focus. You see, the cloud is not just a cloud, it is the actual presence of God.
It seems to me that the cloud is not merely a hiding place but a place so much IN the Most High that it is a bliss that can be felt. The cloud is actually the presence of God’s glory and when we enter it (by some way of His grace), we are lost in Him and the world is lost to us.
We two were in a visible experience of the shelter of God – that place is real and accessible! It is truly a “secret place” as the King James renders it. I believe the crowd could not see us.
A later verse in Psalm 91 will show the hidden nature of this shelter of the Most High.
And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold I will come to you in a thick cloud…”
Exodus 19:9 NASB

Asthma affects 5.4 million people in the UK with someone having a potentially life-threatening asthma attack every 10 seconds. Asthma is a respiratory condition and therefore many sufferers are concerned about the impact on their health if they contract coronavirus. Now the Covid vaccine has been given to 15 million of Britain’s most vulnerable population, some asthma-sufferers are up next. But what exactly is severe asthma?
People whose asthma is under control will not be prioritised for the Covid vaccine according to the Government.
The vaccine rollout in England has now entered a second phase with more than 15 million having received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The first priority groups, including those aged 70 and over, the clinically extremely vulnerable and health and social care workers have now been invited to receive the first dose of the vaccine.
Now, letters will now be sent to those aged 65 and over, as well as those who have underlying health conditions aged 16 to 65 inviting them to receive the first dose of their vaccine.
This means about 5.2 million asthma sufferers will not be invited to have the vaccine yet.
Sufferers of asthma will not be on the list ahead of their peers unless they are formally shielding, regularly take oral steroids or have ever had an emergency hospital admission.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said it was following independent advice that the immediate priority should be to “prevent deaths and protect health and care staff, with old age deemed the single biggest factor determining mortality”.
A DHSC spokesperson said: “This prioritisation captures almost all preventable deaths from Covid-19.”
People with non-severe asthma are considered by the NHS to be at increased risk from coronavirus, but not at risk of dying from the virus.
Asthma has been linked to an increased risk of long Covid.
Long Covid includes a range of symptoms which can be experienced by people some weeks and months after the initial infection hits.
Anyone with the condition requiring a steroid inhaler or tablets will be offered a free annual flu jab, leading some people to question why they are being treated differently when it comes to Covid.
Asthma sufferers will be vaccinated in the sixth priority group, after the over-65s and frontline staff, if:
- They have received a letter advising them to shield
- They have ever had an emergency asthma admission
- They have had three oral steroid prescriptions over a three month period.
- You can see how much your asthma affects you each day using the Asthma Control Test (ACT) here.
- A low score may mean you need additional help managing your asthma and therefore may be more likely to be invited to get the vaccine more quickly.
