Raiders acquire former LSU QB Matt Flynn from Seahawks
The Oakland Raiders have traded for Seattle backup quarterback Matt Flynn in the team's latest change at the game's most important position.
The deal announced by the Seahawks on Monday signals the end to Carson Palmer's tenure in Oakland. Palmer is expected to be dealt to Arizona.
Oakland will send a fifth-round pick in 2014 and a conditional pick in 2015 to Seattle for Flynn, who left Green Bay and signed a lucrative free agent deal with Seattle last year. But he couldn't beat out rookie Russell Wilson for the starting job.
The Raiders also will receive a late-round pick from Arizona if the deal for Palmer is completed.
The Raiders traded a 2012 first-round pick and 2013 second-rounder to Cincinnati for Palmer midway through the 2011 season.

Decarbonization and electrification are twin trends that have come to define modern energy systems. The power and utilities (P&U) sector, particularly electricity generation, is undergoing dramatic change as a consequence. Renewable energy, both grid-scale and distributed, coupled with the digital revolution, alters the grid’s topology and adds colossal complexity to the electricity supply chain.
The global shift to green energy appears to be picking up steam due to an unlikely prospect: war. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has triggered an energy shock, leaving countries grappling with soaring oil and gas prices amid rising inflation and supply chain disruptions
Across Asia, volatile power prices have fueled the need for greater energy security with regional governments accelerating their move to greener fuels.
In June 2022, Singapore commenced the first multilateral cross-border electricity trade involving four Asean countries. The Lao PDR-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project marks a historic milestone that will see the country importing up to 100 megawatts of renewable hydropower from Laos — the first renewable energy import into Singapore. In South Korea, plans are underway to transform the nation into a hydrogen-based economy.
With seismic changes in the pipeline for the power and utilities (P&U) sector, businesses will need to cope with growing risks and an uncertain future. In the first edition of Plugged In, a power and utilities magazine by KPMG, we highlight challenges faced by P&U providers in an ever evolving, disrupted global energy market and share strategies to build a more resilient and robust renewable energy future.

Celebrated Sculptor Dame Elisabeth Frink Dies
LONDON (AP) _ Dame Elisabeth Frink, whose powerful sculptures made her one of Britain’s most celebrated artists, died of cancer on Sunday at her home in southern England, her assistant said. She was 62.
Dame Elisabeth died at her home in Woolland, Blandford Forum, Dorset county, said Brooke Stanford. She underwent surgery for cancer of the esophagus last year, he said.
Frink’s massive male figures and naturalistic sculptures of horses and dogs brought her early fame. She was made a member of the prestigious Royal Academy in 1977.
Her sculptures stand at the Kennedy Memorial in Dallas, at Salisbury Cathedral and Coventry Cathedral, in London’s Piccadilly area, and at Manchester Airport.
Her early figures of flying and falling men stem from childhood memories of World War II, and she conveyed torture and state tyranny in sculptures she made for Amnesty International in the 1970s.
″I think I have always been interested in the business of war,″ she said in a 1991 interview with the Financial Times. ″In war we are all victims, including the fighting forces.″
Elisabeth Frink, the daughter of a career army officer, was born Nov. 14, 1930 in Thurlow, Suffolk, southeast England.
She went to Guildford School of Art from 1947 to 1949, and was a student at the Chelsea School of Art. London’s Tate Gallery bought its first Frink, a figure of a bird, in 1952.
She moved to Dorset 16 years ago with her third husband, Alexander Csaky. Her second husband was Edward Pool.
Frink was made a Commander of the British Empire, or CBE, in 1969 and made a Dame, the women’s equivalent of a knight, in 1982. In June 1992, Queen Elizabeth II made her a Companion of Honor, an award conferred for conspicuous national service.
She is survived by her only child, her son Lin Jammet from her first marriage to Michel Jammet.
Other information on survivors, and on funeral arrangements, was not immediately available.

45:4 a holy portion out of the land, it is, for the priests who wait in the sanctuary, shall it be, who draw near to wait upon Yahweh,so shall it be theirs, as a place for houses, and a sanctuary, for the sanctuary.
45:5 And, five and twenty thousand, in length, and, ten thousand, in breadth,and it shall be for the Levites who wait upon the house, theirs as a possession of cities to dwell in.

45:20 And, so, shalt thou do in the seventh of the month, for any man that wavereth or is of feeble mind,so shall ye cleanse the house by propitiation.
45:21 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, shall ye have the passover,a festival of seven days, unleavened cakes, shall be eaten;
45:22 therefore shall the prince offer, on that day, for himself, and for all the people of the land,a bullock as a sin-bearer;

You can use a rule to quickly find the center of a board's width without dealing with small fractions. Lay the rule across the width, keeping the scale's zero mark lined up with one side. Then angle the rule so that an even number lines up with the opposite side. Mark the board at half the distance. You can also find the center by drawing an "X" diagonally across from one set of opposite corners, then across from the other set of opposite corners. The exact center will be where the lines cross.

- Age Retirement
- Carer Re Payment
- Disability Support Pension
- You or your lover must definitely provide property as protection for the loan (see aim 6).
- You must certainly not be bankrupt or susceptible to an insolvency agreement that is personal.
2. re Payments are a definite nominated quantity
You will be allowed to select your fortnightly loan payment amount, up no more than 150% of the pension that is maximum entitlement

On December 1, the Supreme Court granted Xebra Brands’ (CSE:XBRA) injunction that now positions the company has an outright first mover advantage in the Mexican CBD and CBG markets. It now authorizes it as the first in Mexico to legally cultivate hemp, and includes the right to commercialize hemp derived cannabinoids, such as CBD and CBG. Other top cannabis companies to keep an eye on include Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACB)(TSX:ACB), Canopy Growth (TSX:WEED)(NASDAQ:CGC), Tilray Inc. (NASDAQ:TLRY)(TSX:TLRY), and OrganiGram Holdings (NASDAQ:OGI)(TSX:OGI).
The Supreme Court decision is irrevocable and cannot be appealed.
Next the Supreme Court will mandate the Federal Circuit Court that previously heard the case, to enforce the Supreme Court’s final decision and direct the Mexican Health Regulatory Agency (COFEPRIS) to grant Xebra all authorizations. Xebra expects this process to be completed as soon as practicable.
As a result of the granting of the injunction and Mexican Law, Xebra Mexico is the only company in Mexico that will be authorized to legally carry-out the following activities: import cannabis seeds, cultivate cannabis, process cannabis, extract cannabinoids, and manufacture cannabis products. Xebra Mexico could also sell cannabis products within Mexico and for export. Xebra believes its first-mover-advantage in the Mexican CBD and CBG market could last 1 to 3 years. Commercialization of high-THC cannabis remains prohibited in Mexico; however, Mexican Congress is in the process of debating a bill to fully legalize. Earlier this year, possession of small amounts of cannabis was decriminalized.

Laterality, or lateral dominance may lead to asymmetry in muscle mass and strength, which in turn could lead to differences in stability and balance. Muscular asymmetry and dynamic balance asymmetry have been independently linked with increased injury risk. For example, athletes with >4cm anterior reach distance differences (ΔARD) were found to be at significantly higher risk to incur injuries. PURPOSE: However, it is unknown if there is an association between muscle mass asymmetry and dynamic balance. Nor is it known if these factors change throughout the sports’ seasonal periods (i.e., off-, pre-, and post-season). The purpose of this preliminary analysis was to analyze differences between lower body lean mass and dynamic balance in collegiate athletes and to examine if associations exist between the two variables during different seasons. METHODS: NCAA Division II student-athletes were recruited in their respective off- or pre-season. Lean mass was assessed via dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Dynamic balance was assessed via lower quarter Y Balance Test and ΔARD was calculated. Pearson correlation was used to examine associations. RESULTS: 109 athletes (67W/42M) from six sports have been recruited (Basketball, Football, Golf, Track & Field, and Volleyball). There were no significant correlations (p > 0.05) between differences in lower body lean mass and ΔARD in either off- or pre-season (r2=0.003 and r2=0.001, respectively). 51% of athletes in off-season and 48% in pre-season exhibited >4cm ΔARD. CONCLUSION: In this preliminary report, no correlation was found between lower body lean mass asymmetry and dynamic balance asymmetry. Concerning was our finding that about half of the athletes showed dynamic imbalances, indicating higher injury risk. Further data collection will determine the extent of the changes in muscle mass and dynamic balance asymmetry over one full competitive season.

A moratorium on condominiums in single-family neighborhoods in Durango passed the City Council unanimously Tuesday.
The moratorium prevents anyone from submitting plans for a condo project in these areas for 60 days, said Nicol Killian, the city’s planning manager.
The City Council held the special session to pass the condominium moratorium after an oversight was discovered in the city’s Land Use and Development Code, which was revised in 2014.
City Councilors will likely extend the moratorium through November, an extension that would give the city time to pass amendments to the land-use code, Killian said.
The revised land-use code did not specifically prohibit condos in single-family neighborhoods, and residents brought their concerns about the condo loophole to the City Council last week.
The previous code did specifically prohibit these condo developments, and it was an oversight by city staff members that this prohibition was not carried over, Killian said.
“The idea is we do not want to see condos in our single-family neighborhoods unless we get different direction from City Council,” she said.
The moratorium does not address those areas within historic neighborhoods zoned multifamily.
These pockets of multifamily development raised concerns with some residents because the city’s code allows for detached condos or two single-family homes to be built on lots that would otherwise be too small to be subdivided into two parcels. A lot must be 10,000 square feet to qualify for a subdivision, she said.
Killian said the planning department would present more information to councilors in late August on the issue, and city planners would ask for more guidance.
If the council would like to make zoning changes to the small areas where apartments, townhouses and condos are allowed, it could trigger a longer process with more public meetings.
The councilors did not express opinions on the condos or the pockets of multifamily housing during the 15-minute meeting.
Councilor Dick White said he was taken aback when the issue was raised by residents.
“Let’s make sure nothing else comes through until we can get this language cleaned up,” White said.

Trauma is the shock and pain we go through after an extremely distressing event. The recent Kenyatta National Hospital rape claim by the nursing mum which sparked social media uproar is one similar event. The feelings that come about due to undergoing such an event can lead to extreme behavior. This may include having flashbacks, nightmares, and feelings of intense helplessness. When these behaviors go on for a long time they are then considered as a case of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
These are cases that cause outrage and anger among the friends and families of the victims. However, many at times we don’t know how we should handle a patient who may have undergone such a scenario. What can we do to help patients who have undergone traumatic events? Here are some basic tips on how you can help someone who has gone through such:
- Harmless Environment
Undergoing trauma causes one to undergo a lot of insecurity which leads to them having a lot of discomfort. The best step is making them feel secure and in an environment where they are with people, they trust. The KNH victims having undergone such an event may need to be with their families and closest friends. Having strangers in the house may lead to flashbacks which may then lead to stress and slow the healing of the process.
A traumatic victim should also be encouraged to release the tense. This means that family members and friends should give comfort in a way that they can get the feeling that they are safe now. Most victims tend to have a lot of trust issues and are unable to let go and be free around people. Having them remember fun memories is a great way to help them recover from the event
- Dieting and Nutrition
Another very important factor is about their health, most of the time we find the victims not having an appetite or not wanting to eat. This is a major contributor to them not feeling well and becoming weaker meaning their body becomes weak and since they are taking medicine this can prevent the drugs from being effective. Instead they become reactive to the drugs and cannot be able to fight back the traumatic event and the effects that dawned on them due to it.
- Physical Exercising
Encouraging them to go out and exercise maybe also do it by joining them. This is highly resisted due to the nature of the event they may have engaged in may not make them want to go outside. An example is an event such as kidnapping which may make them to only feel secure when they are inside the house. However, having them go outside and taking part in a family exercise such as deep breathing, a short run and stretching is effective to helping the patient recover faster.
This is the most important part of the healing process. This is because when the victim is in shock he /she may lack or resist the will to sleep. It’s advised to have them in a quiet and darkened room which poses a good environment where they can eventually sleep and allow the body muscles to rest
- Pacing too fast
Trauma victims are always different, some may choose to quickly put the event behind them and get back to work. This is always them trying to look for a distraction and avoiding the healing process. It’s important to help them face the truth about realities of the event, this helps in the recovery process.
- Listening and talking
It’s also very important to talk about the event, having a trusted friend or family is important to help the victim be able to release emotions. Support them by not being judgmental and assuring them that they deserve to feel the emotions they are undergoing. This helps them feel comfortable and be able to talk about what they feel and be listened to. Also talking about similar personal incidences are effective to help end the feeling of being misfortune and unlucky.
Having assurance that all is well is also important. This however maybe resisted due to the victims having lost hope and may not want to hear it. However constantly reminding them of how strong they are and that they can beat this eventually gets to them and they regain the confidence to move on.
- Connecting with others
Being able to connect to people who have gone through similar events is good as they are able to feel they are with the right people who understand their situation. This gives them some measure of comfort on seeing that people have survived this and so can they.
10.Prayer and Meditation
Spiritual nourishment of the patient are very important in that they help the victim to have something to believe in again. Joining a mass or a support group within the church and praying together also helps to give hope and having a way to recover and have faith in getting better.
Traumatic events always leave drastic effects, sometimes as painful as death and even much worse on the victims who are lucky to survive them. Some are an error of judgement while others we just did not have control over. However as much as we lose, we cannot afford to lose hope even when we go through post trauma events, we should always be there for one another to overcome the effects and not let them overcome us.
As much as we hope that life will be smooth, trauma can unfortunately affect any one of us. Therefore, Indepth Research Services has organized a 5-day training course on Trauma Support and Counseling to be held on 19th-23rd March 2018, Nairobi Kenya. The training will focus on concepts of First Aid, the principles of trauma recovery sessions, and effective treatments for people suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and will allow you to gain knowledge and the tools in managing such life situations.

Is dinosaurs Sue 13?
The dinosaur quickly became known to the world as ‘Sue,’ named after amateur paleontologist, Susan Hendrickson, who located the first fossil fragments of the historic find. DINOSAUR 13 was the first film deal closed at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, where it also premiered.
Is dinosaurs coming in 2020?
According to scientists, we are officially in a window of time where technology can bring the dinosaurs back. Sometime between now and 2025. During a panel published five years as of June 9, 2020, the scientist who Jurassic Park’s Dr.
Was Sue the T Rex found on federal land?
While the BHI was used to handshake deals with ranchers, Sue was found on land bound up in arcane regulations that eventually had the fossil hunters, Maurice Williams, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, and the federal government all laying claim to the dinosaur.
Can dinosaurs survive today?
Whatever Jurassic Park would have you believe, dinosaurs roaming the Earth today might need a bit more puff if they want to catch up with hapless tourists. It’s doubtful. But land dinosaurs would be quite comfortable with the climate of tropical and semi-tropical parts of the world.
Is sue a Girl T. rex?
Even though we refer to SUE as a “she,” it is unknown whether this T. rex was female or male. We know that this carnivorous dinosaur lived about 67 million years ago and probably weighed nine tons during its life.
Where is the largest T. rex ever found located?
rex discovered in Canada. Discovered in 1991, the Tyrannosaurus rex specimen known as Scotty weighed an estimated 19,500 pounds in life—making it the biggest T. rex ever found.
How long could a dinosaur live?
Early estimates of 300-year lifespans for the largest sauropods were based on comparisons with crocodiles and turtles, which have much slower metabolisms. The consensus is now that Apatosaurus and Diplodocus dinosaurs probably only lived for 70 or 80 years, which is about the same as an elephant today.

Following their early exit from the 2022 Aiteo Cup competition on Sunday in Enugu, Chairman of Akwa United, Elder Paul Bassey, has approved a three-week end-of-season break for players and officials of the team starting from today to September 3, 2022.
In a statement signed by club’s Media Officer, Mfon Patrick, in Uyo, yesterday, training for the new season will begin on September 5, 2022.
Akwa United was unexpectedly knocked out of the Aiteo Cup, 1-2, in the round of 16 by Kogi United.
Bassey commended players and officials of the club for their efforts and genuine contributions to the fortunes of the club, charging the players to behave professionally and maintain unalloyed physical, mental and spiritual discipline during the break period.
“The just concluded football season was a very tough and tedious one for us at Akwa United, judging by the fact that it was our worst finish in the NPFL in the last six seasons.
“Having come to the end of what could best be described as a difficult season, we really need to go on a break, visit our families and friends and make out time to rest after such a marathon season.
“As you enjoy your holiday, remember to act professionally in all you do, stay away from activities that will affect your fitness level, remain focused and be disciplined,” he said.
He emphasised that the resumption date of September 3 is non-negotiable and urged the players and officials to adhere strictly to the directive.

NHS staff numbers begin to fall as fears rise over effect of efficiency savingsBMJ 2010; 341 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.c4005 (Published 23 July 2010) Cite this as: BMJ 2010;341:c4005
- Adrian O’Dowd
The number of NHS staff in England has started to fall for the first time in several years, prompting concerns that this may be the start of a trend of a shrinking NHS workforce.
New figures on hospital and community health services from the NHS Information Centre show that the NHS’s workforce headcount fell by 3351 from March this year to April, from 1 219 500 to 1 216 149 (a 0.3% drop).
The number in April was, however, 1% higher than in September last year, when it stood at 1 204 590, indicating that the downward trend may have just begun.
The NHS employed 1151 fewer managers and senior managers in March this year than in April (a …

Thomas Mueller, Mario Goetze and David Alaba (center L-R) of FC Bayern Munich celebrate a goal against Borussia Dortmund during their German first division Bundesliga soccer match in Munich, Germany, October 4, 2015 (Reuters)
German champions Bayern Munich broke ground on Friday for a new training centre and youth academy that will cost an estimated 70 million euros ($79.48 million), in order to keep up with the competition from other top European clubs, officials said.
The Bavarians, one of the world's richest soccer clubs with a turnover of more than half a billion euros, have not had a home-grown player make a successful transition to the senior team since Thomas Mueller in 2009.
"We have a lot of catching up to do compared to the other big European clubs. That is why we are starting this now," said club president Karl Hopfner during a ceremony on the plot near their Allianz Arena stadium in the north of the city.
"I am convinced that this will become another milestone in Bayern history," he said.
The new facility, to be completed by the start of the 2017/18 season, will have eight football pitches, including one with 2,500-seat stands, a youth academy, offices and a multi-purpose sports hall.
Bayern youth teams are currently using the Saebener street facilities which are home to the club headquarters and the senior team as well.

The Darkest Minds is the latest entry in a genre looking a little worse for wear as of late. Young Adult adaptations haven’t thrived since Harry Potter wrapped in 2012 and The Hunger Games bowed down as an almost $3 billion-grossing series almost three years ago. For every Maze Runner, there is a Beautiful Creatures and despite starting strongly, the Divergent series couldn’t even conclude its story due to dwindling box office figures. Twentieth Century Fox has taken a punt with The Darkest Minds, adapted from Alexandra Brackens’ novel of the same name, and with eyes on a franchise, does the latest release bring anything new to a genre very much in need of an energy boost?
When the world’s children begin exhibiting mysterious and intense superpowers resulting in the death of 90% of those under 18, the US government demands that citizens hand over any surviving children. They are then classified based on their psionic abilities, with Ruby Daly labelled an orange: the most dangerous category, possessing the ability to enter and control the mind of others. After escaping the internment camp, they work to find East River, a rumoured safe haven for children like themselves. Marking Kung Fu Panda director Jennifer Yuh Nelson’s first foray into live-action, The Darkest Minds is one of the year’s worst films thus far.
Derivative and vapid, The Darkest Minds is everything a Young Adult adaptation should be embarrassed to be. A sorry excuse to mimic previously-laid genre footsteps, it is as subtle as a sledgehammer and just as messy, an exercise as void of all originality. Failing to put in the effort and with a storyline haphazardly thrown together from genre conventions and tropes, it is a dull and lifeless rehash of superior franchise titles without the creativity to set it apart from the crowd. Divergent meets Maze Runner, with dashes of the X-Men series and a moment or two recalling Avengers: Infinity War, The Darkest Minds is a messy amalgamation that somehow manages to take elements from decent-enough films and really shit the bed. It’s an abysmal cash-grab that demonstrates the very worst in Hollywood franchise-building.
I’m unable to say whether Chad Hodge’s screenplay compounds the issues found in Brackens’ source material, or whether he creates the problems himself. What I can say rather confidently though is that this may be the worst screenplay to be put on our screens in the past 12 months. It’s a truly dreadful effort: wince-inducing writing causes the audiences’ eyes to roll at an increasingly alarming rate, with flat characters delivering even flatter dialogue, unable to generate any empathy towards characters built purely on archetypes and broad brushstrokes. The narrative is tissue-thin and, while at the risk of sounding as repetitive as the film itself, extremely predictable: there is no flair or deeper meaning to any of it and beyond some half-hearted allegories – more accidental than purposeful – the whole slog is meaningless and boring.
Like a house of cards in the middle of a tornado, everything comes down, crashes and scatters, despite the actors tasked with elevating this insipid material giving it their best effort. Amandla Stenberg is a talented soul but Hollywood has been unable to capitalise on her skill following her breakout role in The Hunger Games; similarly, Harris Dickinson attempts to bring some gravitas to proceedings and he is charming at times – but the forced romance is inept and Dickinson (and Stenberg, although she does have more to do elsewhere) is stranded trying to convince us that Ruby and Liam’s relationship is genuine and not simply a tick-box exercise that goes on to stitch together the most unbelievable love triangle to disgrace the genre in some time. Supporting performances from Mandy Moore, Patrick Gibson and Gwendoline Christie fail to enliven the film any, with Gibson’s turn especially toe-curling and foreseeable.
With material as tedious as this, even the greatest living directors would struggle to salvage a film worth seeing – but giving the content to a first-time live-action director (Jennifer Yuh Nelson) is particularly harsh, without the skill and creativity to make the best out of a dire situation due to limited experience. Her direction is lacking in flair and substance, shot and directed in a way that restricts what we see on screen to necessity. It’s not challenging and it’s not exciting. It’s the very barest of bones and part of me is disappointed for Nelson that she didn’t have more sturdy material to contend with in making her debut.
In conclusion: The Darkest Minds
Dull and recycled at best, incoherent and vapid at worst, The Darkest Minds is one of the worst misfires of this cinema year. For a genre that has stagnated beyond recognition, Minds sure does hammer home those conventions and tropes to remind you of superior efforts, making this shameless imitation all the more exasperating. While not ideal, a film can feel like it’s retreading old ground but still find the narrative and thematic space to say something new – but there’s nothing remotely interesting to be said in this one, leading to a situation that becomes increasingly frustrating as every excruciating minute ticks by. Minds is an utter sham and an embarrassment for all involved. Easily one of the year’s very worst, The Darkest Minds makes Divergent look like The Hunger Games.


Evolutionary Adaptations to Climate Change in Australian Flora

Climate changes have been impacting ecosystems worldwide. Southwest Western Australia (SWA) is experiencing increased drought with climate change, causing great concerns for the continuing persistence of its extraordinary plant diversity. The potential of SWA plants to adapt to increased drought through rapid evolution was investigated. Results indicate that the SWA flora has tolerated recent climate changes, with potential for tolerance of further changes; however altered fire regimes may be detrimental to further adaptation and survival.

If you’re a banana bread lover, there’s no denying that sinking feeling when your latest batch of the delicious cake fails to turn out as planned. There are many reasons why your banana bread may not be reaching its full potential, from incorrect measurements to poor ingredient choices. In this article, we’ll investigate common mistakes in making banana bread, the role of ingredients, and provide tips and tricks to taking the perfect bite out of your favorite sweet indulgence.
Common Mistakes in Making Banana Bread
One of the most common mistakes is using overripe bananas. While it’s true that brown or spotted bananas are perfect for baking, there is such a thing as too ripe. Bananas that are too brown and mushy may not have enough structure to support the bread, leaving it dense and heavy.
Another common mistake is overmixing the batter. While it’s important to mix the wet and dry ingredients thoroughly, overmixing can lead to a tough and dense texture.
Lastly, inattention to detail with the recipe measurements can cause your banana bread to have a strange texture and taste. It’s important to use accurate measurements of flour, sugar, and leavening agents to ensure that your bread rises, and the texture of your final product is fluffy and moist.
One additional mistake that people often make when making banana bread is not preheating the oven. Preheating the oven is crucial to ensure that the bread bakes evenly and rises properly. If the oven is not preheated, the bread may not cook evenly, resulting in a burnt top and undercooked center. It’s important to preheat the oven to the correct temperature as stated in the recipe before placing the bread in the oven.
The Role of Ingredients
Several ingredients play an essential part in making the perfect banana bread. Let’s talk about them one by one:
The most important ingredient, of course, is the bananas! It’s best to use ripe and sweet bananas because they add an intense flavor and natural sweetness to your bread. You’ll also want to mash your bananas instead of slicing them because this creates a creamier and smoother consistency.
When baking banana bread, it’s essential to use the right kind of flour. All-purpose flour is the most commonly used as it strikes the perfect balance between gluten and protein content to create a soft and airy texture. However, those seeking a healthy alternative can substitute all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour, which can aid in digestion and blood sugar regulation.
The sugar in your bread helps in moistening and sweetening the bread. While sugar is essential for the flavor of the bread, it should be used in moderation. Bakers who are conscious of their sugar intake can use alternatives like maple syrup or honey.
Leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda help in giving your bread the desired rise. It is necessary to use the right amount, else the bread will not rise or rise unevenly.
Eggs are another crucial ingredient in banana bread. They act as a binding agent and help in giving the bread structure and stability. Eggs also add moisture and richness to the bread. For vegans or those with egg allergies, you can use substitutes like applesauce, mashed bananas, or flaxseed meal mixed with water.
Nuts and Chocolate Chips
Adding nuts or chocolate chips to your banana bread can take it to the next level. Nuts like walnuts or pecans add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor, while chocolate chips add a sweet and indulgent touch. You can also experiment with other add-ins like dried fruits, shredded coconut, or even bacon bits!
Tips for Choosing the Right Bananas for Your Bread
As mentioned above, using ripe bananas is essential. But, how do you ensure you’re using the right kind of bananas for your bread? Here are a few tips:
- Choose bananas that are evenly yellow, with a few black spots.
- Avoid fruits that have blackened or soft spots – these are too ripe.
- Look for fruits with bright peels, indicating that they are fresh and ready to use.
Another important factor to consider when choosing bananas for your bread is the size of the fruit. Larger bananas tend to have a higher moisture content, which can affect the texture of your bread. If you prefer a denser, more banana-flavored bread, opt for larger bananas. However, if you prefer a lighter, fluffier bread, choose smaller bananas. Additionally, if you’re using frozen bananas, make sure to thaw them completely before using them in your recipe.
How to Store Bananas for Best Results in Banana Bread
Storing bananas the right way can significantly improve the quality of your banana bread. Follow these tips:
- Store bananas at room temperature until they’re ripe, as this allows the sugars to develop.
- Refrigerate ripe bananas as soon as possible to prevent further ripening.
- Freezing bananas is also helpful in preserving them for future baking.
However, did you know that the ripeness of the bananas can also affect the texture of your banana bread? Overripe bananas can make your bread too dense and mushy, while underripe bananas can make it too dry and crumbly.
Another tip is to store your bananas separately from other fruits and vegetables. Bananas release a gas called ethylene, which can cause other produce to ripen and spoil faster. Keeping them in a separate bowl or hanging them on a banana hook can help prolong their freshness.
The Importance of Measuring Ingredients Accurately
Accurate measurements are essential when baking banana bread. Even minor inaccuracies can cause the bread to turn out dense, dry, or lacking flavor. Use a kitchen scale and measuring cups to ensure that you are using exactly the right amount of each ingredient.
Not only does accurate measuring ensure that your banana bread turns out perfectly, but it also helps with consistency. If you measure your ingredients differently each time you bake, your banana bread may turn out differently each time as well. By measuring accurately, you can ensure that your banana bread always has the same texture and flavor.
Additionally, accurate measuring is important for those with dietary restrictions or allergies. If a recipe calls for a specific amount of an ingredient, it is important to measure it accurately to avoid any potential health risks. For example, if someone has a nut allergy and a recipe calls for a small amount of chopped nuts, measuring accurately can ensure that the recipe is safe for them to eat.
Baking Techniques for Moist and Fluffy Banana Bread
Banana bread needs to be cooked to the point where it’s soft and fluffy while being moist and not too dense. Here are a few techniques to help you achieve this:
- Use a lower oven temperature of about 325°F to ensure that the bread doesn’t dry out.
- Don’t overmix the batter – mix it just until the ingredients are blended.
- Try not to open the oven too often while the bread is baking. Regularly opening and closing the oven door can lead to reduced oven temperature and uneven baking.
How to Adjust Baking Time and Temperature for Desired Results
The right temperature and baking time are essential to achieving the perfect banana bread. Generally, banana bread should be baked for 60-70 minutes at a temperature of 325°F. However, there are still things to consider when it comes to adjusting baking time and temperature:
- If you want your bread to be darker, increase baking temperature to about 375°F.
- If you want your bread to rise more, use a little more baking powder or baking soda.
- If you’re baking at high altitude, you may need to adjust baking time and temperature slightly.
Troubleshooting Tips for Overcooked or Undercooked Banana Bread
If your bread has come out overcooked or underdone, don’t worry – there are ways to salvage it:
- If your bread is undercooked, don’t throw it away. Simply pop it back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
- If your bread is overcooked, try slicing it and toasting it to bring out the flavor.
Tips for Adding Variations and Customizing Your Banana Bread Recipe
Banana bread is versatile. You can customize your recipe to your liking by adding ingredients such as nuts, chocolate chips, or even raisins. Here are a few ideas:
- Add spice to your bread using cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom.
- Add chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the batter.
- Add cocoa powder or melted chocolate chips to add a chocolate twist.
Important Safety Tips When Baking Banana Bread at Home
It’s essential to follow proper safety practices when baking to ensure that you are safe. A few safety tips to follow include:
- Always preheat the oven and set a timer so that you don’t forget when to take the bread out of the oven.
- Always use oven mitts or gloves when handling hot items, such as baking sheets or pans.
- Don’t leave children unattended in the kitchen.
How to Serve and Enjoy Your Perfectly Baked Banana Bread
The perfect banana bread is best served warm with a smear of butter or cream cheese on top. You can also enjoy it cold or toasted—whatever your preference. Pair it with a cup of coffee, tea, or even milk for a delicious snack or breakfast.
By following these tips, you should be able to achieve the perfect banana bread every time. Enjoy!

Slide, which launched the corporate’s Golf GTI and Golf R sizzling hatch, mentioned: Gas the followers.
Having pushed each the vehicles, I feel they’re an correct description of what they carry to the Volkswagen lineup. With the German auto large’s vary now dominated by SUVs (5 and counting), the recent hatch’s look is the corporate’s means of throwing high-performance bones at long-running V-dub followers.
Simply to catch you up, the Golf GTI and Golf R stay the majority of the Golf lineup in North America. The eighth-generation Golf debuted in Europe in 2019, however when Volkswagen of America refused to import it out-of-state, the enterprise case for Volkswagen Canada to retain the automotive right here evaporated. No extra bizarre golf for us. However the truth that the GTI and Golf R made the reduce is a pleasant silver lining in an period when passenger vehicles are being pulled from producer lineups at an alarming fee.
At any fee, each vehicles journey on Volkswagen’s MQB (Modular Transverse Matrix) platform and share fundamental physique styling, powertrain and chassis elements. There are a number of key variations that set them aside, after all, such because the Golf R’s all-wheel drive and extra sturdy engine output, however ultimately, the 2 usually are not the identical.
For 2022, the two.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (EA888) engine within the GTI will get an influence bump of 241 hp/273 lb-ft, representing a bonus of 14 and 15, respectively, over the powerplant within the outgoing seventh-gen. sample. As earlier than, the GTI stays a entrance wheel-drive automotive, with a selection of two gearboxes, a six-speed handbook, or a seven-speed dual-clutch computerized (DSG).
Different enhancements, particularly these of the chassis tuning selection, are quite a few. Amongst these is a brand new car dynamics system, commonplace E-LSD (restricted slip differential), accessible Dynamic Chassis Management (DCC) adaptive damping that has been re-calibrated, inflexible entrance (5 %) and rear (15 %) spring charges. , a lighter (three kg) aluminum subframe, a bigger grasp cylinder for higher braking really feel, and revised aerodynamics for much less raise.
When it comes to aesthetics, the styling adjustments are iterative and in step with the GTI model hallmarks. These embody new LED lighting, purple grill line with optionally available gentle bar, honeycomb air consumption with LED lighting, 19-inch wheels with accessible summer time tyres, purple brake calipers, rear spoiler and twin chrome exhaust finisher. Seven exterior colours can be found, 5 of that are new to the GTI.
Within the cabin, the GTI receives a brand new “digital structure”, which implies a normal 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Professional instrument panel and an 8.25-inch infotainment touchscreen show. Heated entrance sport seats completed in conventional GTI “Scale Paper” plaid material are additionally commonplace concern, as is 30-color ambient lighting. Notable choices embody a 10-inch infotainment show with embedded navigation, heads-up show, Harman Kardon audio system and Vienna leather-based seating.
Volkswagen Canada is providing the GTI in three grades: GTI $31,495 / $32,895 (DSG), Autobahn $34,995 / $36,395 (DSG) and Efficiency $38,995 / $40,395 (DSG). Every grade comes effectively stocked with an extended listing of ordinary kits, however there are a number of choice packages accessible for gadgets like a sunroof, alloy wheels, and premium audio.
Notably, Volkswagen Canada is providing the Leather-based Delet bundle at no cost for the Efficiency Grade, which is not accessible within the US. The identical goes for the sunroof, which is optionally available ($1,250) on the Efficiency mannequin in Canada, however Normal on the prime is the GTI (Autobahn) within the US. In actual fact, the sunroof is optionally available for all GTI fashions in Canada. Volkswagen says these packaging selections are a direct results of buyer suggestions.
Do you know that the 2022 mannequin is the fifth Golf R, however solely the third to have made it in Canada?
To be trustworthy, I did not even realize it, however sure certainly, the primary Golf R (2004) was a variant of the fourth era Golf and was bought in America and Europe, however not right here. It had 240 hp and was changed in 2008 with the 250 hp VR6 mannequin (the one Golf with a six-cylinder engine), which was once more bought within the US and Europe, however not in Canada.
Looks like a very long time in the past, as we at the moment are on our third Golf R and this mannequin is “elevating the bar” and “the final word expression of Golf and Volkswagen” that the corporate claimed within the product presentation.
And who am I to argue, as a result of 2022 is an actual blast.
For instance, the two.0-liter EA888 Turbo’s energy is bumped as much as 315 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque when paired with a DSG gearbox. Torque output for the handbook stays at 280 as a result of – and I did not know this earlier than – North America is the one market the place the Golf R could be had with a three-pedal setup.
Europe dropped the handbook when the earlier mannequin was facelifted, and it didn’t return for the following era. On condition that the handbook is not a world function, Volkswagen selected to not re-engineer the automotive round itself, so torque output stays the identical.
Just like the GTI, the Golf R receives a brand new car dynamics system, however DCC and torque vectoring are commonplace as are Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. Two new drive modes, Drift and Particular, are additionally commonplace concern.
Chassis adjustments are quite a few and embody the next: elevated unfavorable camber (-1.2 levels), 10 % tighter anti-roll and spring fee, a lighter (minus three kg) aluminum subframe, aluminum entrance brake hub, and bigger (358 mm) ) Cross-drilled entrance brake rotors with two-piston calipers. Just like the GTI, the brand new Golf R additionally will get an even bigger grasp cylinder for higher braking really feel and higher aerodynamics for much less raise.
Aesthetically, the Golf R receives the identical styling updates because the GTI, however there are a number of distinctive particulars that set it aside, together with R-specific entrance and rear bumpers, signature blue detailing, a bi-level spoiler and a quad-tip. Chrome exhaust finisher. 19-inch wheels wrapped in summer time tires are additionally commonplace.
Inside, the cabin carries ahead the GTI’s aesthetic, however with extra baggage. For instance, a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen with embedded navigation is commonplace, as is an R-specific steering wheel, heated and ventilated entrance seats, heated rear seats, Nappa leather-based seating and Harman Kardon audio system.
When it comes to pricing, the Golf R is available in a means for Canada, with a barely bigger outlay for the DSG-equipped mannequin ($46,395 versus $44,995 for the handbook). The one manufacturing facility choice accessible is an influence sunroof ($1,250).
Volkswagen Canada gave us the higher a part of a day within the Niagara space to pattern these two new sizzling hatches, which proved to be a fairly cool approach to move the time.
These vehicles are nice. Barrels of enjoyable. Quick, grippy and on the rails. These hatches are a lot enjoyable, actually, that I want there was a monitor part to the drive. Nevertheless it wasn’t, so public roads are the place my impressions come from.
These vehicles look quick, and they’re. For my part, each are higher with a handbook gearbox, however the DSG and its pedals – at the least within the Golf R – work high quality. Throttle response from the EA888 is hair-triggered in each vehicles, with its added energy and all-wheel drive making the launch extra aggressive within the R.
The clutch-shifter relationship feels effectively suited to efficiency driving, with engagement that is each easy and dependable for fast upshifts and downshifts. On largely easy Niagara roads, the Golf R feels caught on the street with good steering suggestions and flat cornering. I used to be anticipating a loud exhaust, an actual bap-dap-dap kind really feel, particularly off-throttle, however it was muted general. If one is definitely standing on the accelerator in sport or race mode it will get loud however in any other case comparatively quiet.
The brand new torque vectoring system, which may ship engine torque to the rear wheels in dynamic driving situations (as much as one hundred pc in both wheel), to assist clear the understeer for higher rotation by means of corners, actually In-track analysis is required. I sampled an identical system at a 2022 Audi RS3 monitor in Greece in October, and it labored as marketed. I feel the identical can be true for the Golf R, and hope I lastly get an opportunity to verify that assumption.
I am talking largely concerning the R right here, however the GTI affords the identical really feel, albeit with barely much less energy.
Briefly, each vehicles ship on Volkswagen’s “Gas the Followers” promise, and I feel they’re going to attraction not solely amongst longtime model aficionados, however newbies as effectively. The interiors of each the vehicles are additionally engaging with supportive seating and a neat sprint panel/middle console format. I want there have been a number of extra mechanical buttons, however that is me. Touchscreens work high quality when you’re aware of them.
Honda and Subaru will introduce all-new Civic Sort R and WRX fashions subsequent yr, and they’ll face robust competitors from Volkswagen available in the market. The gauntlet is thrown down.
The 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI goes on sale throughout Canada in December. The Golf R will start arriving in early 2022.

One of the presuppositions of our culture is that more is, well, more–that with greater material affluence comes greater happiness or fulfillment, a better life. This runs counter to the principle of askesis (Gk, “exercise” or “training”). The word is the root of our word asceticism–the forgoing of material comfort for the purpose of focus or spiritual benefit.
It turns out that in limiting ourselves (or in embracing our human limitations) we actually open ourselves up to the thing that ultimately make us happy–shared experience with people we love:
We are familiar with the frequently beneficial consequences of involuntary askesis. How many times have we heard as we have visited a parishioner in the days following a heart attack, ‘It’s the best thing that ever happened to me–I’ll never be the same again. It woke me up to the reality of my life, to God, to what is important.’ Suddenly instead of of mindlessly and compulsively pursuing an abstraction–success, or money, or happiness–the person is reduced to what is actually there, to the immediately personal–family, geography, body–and begins to live freshly in love and appreciation. The change is a direct consequence of a force realization of human limits. Pulled out of the fantasy of a god condition and confined to the reality of the human condition, the person is surprised to be living not a diminished life but a deepened life, not a crippled life but a zestful life. -Eugene Peterson, Under the Unpredictable Plant

A bill that would phase-out Fannie and Freddie is unlikely to pass a full Senate vote.
Bills would grant NCUSIF coverage for IOLTAs, privately-insured credit unions FHLB access, and more input on CFPB rural areas.
New law will give relief to homeowners facing steep rate hikes due to FEMA remapping.
Opposing trade groups put their differences aside to join forces in a letter to Congress supporting patent troll legislation.
The complexity of reforming the secondary mortgage market, combined with its risk and Congress' inability to compromise, are the three reasons industry lobbyists and housing experts don't expect its completion in 2014.
The urgency to raise the MBL threshold is just as fresh when the current bill debuted last year on Valentine's Day.
Complexity, risk, congressional gridlock fingered in failure to reform Freddie, Fannie, FHFA this year.
The urgency to raise the MBL threshold is just as fresh as when the current bill debuted last year on Valentine's Day.
Failure to pass the bill could mean skyrocketing premiums that could drop home values, NAFCU's Brad Thaler says.

Bwahaahaaa! The FINAL word on Ted The Bloated Whale Kennedy:
From The WaPo: “He was given everything he had in life,” said conservative activist Grover Norquist. “He didn’t earn anything. He is Thurston Howell III, and he has the nerve to say to people who built small businesses, restaurants and gas stations that they should have their money stolen from them” through higher taxes.

About running score, this phone single thread score is 1775, multithreading score is 6419, it is similar to Huawei Mate 8, Huawei Mate 8 running score is 1737/6443, so, two phones processor may be similar.
Of course, accordind to this score, it is not sured the processor is kirin 950, consider the kirin 950 base band is normal, so Huawei may publish kirin 950 updated version, the size doesn’t need change, it just needs to update the base band. Otherwise, the difference with Snapdaron 820 or Exynos 8890 may be larger and larger.
My introduction has done. This Huawei new phone is not bad. Let’s look forward. If you want to learn more Huawei news, I also recommend a good online store: Fastcardtech.com here. It provides cheap and valued Huawei phones.

Following a successful public hearing, the California Prune Board (CPB) has been authorized by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to continue for another five years through July 31, 2025 – without the need for an industry referendum. At the hearing, prune growers and processors voiced unanimous support for the CPB, along with sharing numerous examples of the board’s favorable results on behalf of the California Prune industry.
“The CPB continuation is a major win for California Prune growers, processors and handlers,” said Joe Turkovich, California Prune grower and Chairman of the California Prune Board. “The board’s work is vitally important to the success of the prune industry. It has carefully considered strategic priorities that will continue building industry momentum for the next five years and beyond.”
California Prune Board: Delivering Leadership and Value
The hearing comes amid industry headwinds facing California agriculture in general, such as rising labor costs and increasing regulations. Additionally, the California Prune industry has specific challenges including a global market driven by low prices and smaller, inferior quality imported fruit.
“We have navigated through many challenges and are currently addressing others – such as tariffs that create major impediments to growing markets – all while knowing there are many challenges around the corner. Yet, we believe in the values the industry has together set forth,” said Donn Zea, Executive Director of the California Prune Board. “Our board and committee members are dedicated to the industry’s success and bring integrity and unique perspective to each discussion. The CPB team around the world is both humbled and proud to join them for the hard work that lies ahead.”
Together, we have achieved much as a board and as an industry, added Zea, citing examples such as:
- Securing more than $50 million in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) purchases of California Prunes during a three-year timeframe (2017 – 2019) for school nutrition programs and food banks
- Dedicating more than $1.25 million during the past three years to nutrition research to scientifically validate the remarkable health benefits of California Prunes for gut and bone health, as well as
- Investing more than $1.3 million during the past three years to crop production research, including important findings and advancements related to mechanical pruning, rootstock anchorage, new varietal development, and pest and disease control
- Securing $11.4 million in federal grant funding for export programs, while partnering with the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) each year to defend, grow and develop international markets
- Being recognized by FAS as “highly effective” in CPB proposal quality, strategic execution, and financial and regulatory compliance
- Developing an extensively researched, thoroughly vetted new California Prunes brand to unite the global industry under a cohesive banner to communicate the one-of-a-kind premium nature of California Prunes
California Prune Board: Building on the Momentum, Advancing Priorities
With input from numerous industry members and under the leadership of the CPB executive committee, the board has outlined key priority areas to rally the industry’s efforts. Focus areas include:
- Nutrition research
- Trade policy and market support
- Industry unification
- Production research
- Global visibility expansion for California Prunes
“We have listened intently to California Prune growers and handlers to identify these priority areas that will inform our focus, guide our decisions, and ultimately, make a positive and sustained difference for the global California Prune industry,” said Zea.
California is the world’s largest producer of prunes providing about 40 percent of the world’s supply and more than 90% of the U.S. supply. Today, there are more than 40,000 bearing acres of California Prune orchards concentrated in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys.
ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA PRUNE BOARD
Created in 1952, The California Prune Board aims to amplify the premium positioning and top-of-mind awareness of California Prunes through advertising, public relations, promotion, nutrition research, crop management and sustainability research, and issues management. The California Prune Board represents approximately 800 prune growers and 28 prune, juice, and ingredient handlers under the authority of the California Secretary of Food and Agriculture.

A tugboat involved in dredging at Port Canaveral collided with a pier on Sunday and caused $500,000 in damage, including a broken mooring post.
Debris from the collision came off the mooring post, or bollard. The port’s North Cargo Pier No. 3 was also damaged. Divers secured debris at the bottom of the harbor on Sunday to allow cruise ships to enter.
Port Engineer Christine Hartnett said in an email the only ongoing impact on port operations would be for large fuel vessels that may need a mooring. Instead of using the damaged mooring, a tug would be used to hold the vessel in place while cruise ships pass by or during high winds, she said.
The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating, and the Port said cleanup continues today. There were no injuries reported. Heavy-duty barge cranes were being used on Monday to clean up more debris.
Port Canaveral is undergoing widening and deepening to accommodate larger cruise and cargo ships. Hartnett said the dredge contractor is Dutra Dredge and the tugboat subcontractor is American Marine, both of California.
On June 22, a U.S. subsidiary of Middle Eastern cargo company Gulftainer signed a 35-year, $100 million agreement to boost cargo operations with a new terminal the port. Gulftainer’s subsidiary, GT USA, has agreed to invest $100 million in infrastructure, equipment and personnel.

Antiques Roadshow is a time-suck for just about everyone, not just art aficionados, because it taps into our desire to be worth something, ultimately. By virtue of being associated with the items, we in turn become part of the story, part of the worth. It’s a fantasy capitalized on in television and film time and time again.
‘Buried treasure’ is more appealing than most other kinds of windfalls, I think. There’s a romanticism that comes from owning pieces of art, using them for practical purposes even, only to discover they are wildly valuable. It’s what drives so many antique markets, estate-sale hunters, and thrifters who are secretly looking for that one piece. It also drives so many of us to start looking at that weird vase our grandmothers gave us that we absolutely hate but can’t seem to part with just in case.
Here to make you reconsider putting that horrible lamp aunt Myrtle gave you on a top shelf is an older collection of Antique Roadshow’s most surprising appraisals and reactions (hold out for 40min for the tan-grandma losing her shit).
After this aired, Antiques Roadshow appraised some Chinese rhino horn dishes for a whopping $1-1.5 million dollars to which the owner said “well, I guess I don’t need to rely on social security anymore”. Bless him.
